In the middle of the internal battle for the head of the PSD, the party is in a “almost impossible” situation. The current interim leader, Sorin Grindeanu, tries to postpone the choices and strengthen his position, a sign that he perceives the danger of loss of control.

The current management of the PSD, as long as it is interim, is vulnerable, emphasizes political analysts. “Any kind of interim is vulnerable. (…) The whole leadership and Grindeanu himself are in a vulnerable position in which their influence in the party is limited ”emphasizes the political scientist George Jiglău.
PSD postponement and moves
In the middle of the internal race for the party’s presidency, in an attempt to strengthen their support in the party, Sorin Grindeanu, president of the Chamber of Deputies, replaced two members of the institution’s management. Natalia Intotero, former minister of the family in the Ciolacu government, takes the place of Daniel Suciu from the position of vice -president of the Chamber of Deputies, and Simona Bucura Oprescu, a former minister of Labor, takes his place Mitică Mărgărit as a questionor of the Chamber of Deputies.
The current leadership threatens a possible PNL-USR alliance in the elections for the City Hall, which he wants to push next year, as in the case of the party’s internal elections, where no more candidates are excluded. “PSD He makes a great service, playing this ambiguity related to the Capital City Hall and is only more vulnerable. Grindeanu himself makes a mistake by the fact that he does not clarify once he wants to be related to the Capital. If a matter of postponing the elections from the Capital until they make their congress and the waters are clarified and depending on that, a candidate from the management will be established. Maybe he is afraid that if I make the elections now before the congress and win a Băluță, let’s say, then that person will leave with a great chance to become the president of the party ”, explains the politicalologist George Jiglău.
In fact, signs that the interim chief of the PSD could face more candidates are already. Recently the Minister of Energy, Bogdan Ivan, understood that he could run for a leadership position in the next Congress. Moreover, asked in how many years he will become president of the formation, the Social Democrat replied that “This will decide the PSD. “
“If they do not organize elections, all these decisions can be challenged inside the party, and if they organize elections, at the moment, my opinion is that the two are sensitive to equality and will challenge each other” – Radu Carp, teacher
“Even if it will not be a congress soon, there is a pretty serious and very powerful counter-candidate, Mr. Titus Corlățen, and the fact that Mr. Grindeanu means that he feels threatened.
If they do not organize elections, all these decisions can be challenged, not in the sense that in court, but they can be challenged inside the party, and if they organize elections, at the moment, my opinion is that the two are sensitive to equality and will challenge each other.. So, I think it is the worst moment of the PSD after parliamentary elections, I think it should be organized, as soon as possible to cut this matter and I think both Mr. Grindeanu and
Corlăţeanshould announce the teams on which they rely“, explains Professor Radu Carp.
The PSD electorate seems to be divided on some foundation themes and this is also transmitted at the level of the party management, which should organize the elections to stab the party direction as soon as possible, points out Professor Radu Carp: “There are many currents of opinion among the PSD sympathizes, which makes the party no longer can act unitary. I think PSD should have a very clear sociological representation of their own electorate. What does this electorate want? It is very important, precisely not to prolong an internal division that does not give the party at the moment, especially since we see a constant decrease in polls and we see another thing, the PSD ministers in the government are unequal, that is, some are more and others are more absent. “
