The Hungarian formation negotiates at least two weight portfolios, especially regional development and finances, which it has today.

Nicușor Dan, right of veto on two ministries
The new president will have a say for choosing the holders for foreign and defense, two ministries in close connection with the head of state. A name conveyed in the public space for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is Dacian Cioloș, a politician in cordial relations with the president of France Emmanuel Macron. But neither USR nor Nicușor Dan would like Cioloș as a head of diplomacy, I say coalition sources. At the defense, Nicușor Dan will negotiate the appointment of a minister with PNL leader Ilie Bolojan. In addition, Nicușor Dan will appoint a trusted man at the head of the SRI, plus a CCR judge.
