PNL leaders criticize Sorin Grindeanu after the budget dispute, arguing that the PSD leader, and not Ilie Bolojan, had to give in and that he is losing his chances of becoming prime minister in the government rotation.
Deputy Florin Roman states that the social-democratic leader Sorin Grindeanu took a step back in the budget negotiations, contradicting the messages that appeared in the public space.
“PSD’s communication on sources claims that «Bolojan gave in»regarding the budget. False! The one who gave in is Sorin Grindeanu. He had no other solution either, after he pushed PSD into isolation, and PSD threatened to block the budget”he wrote on Facebook.
According to the liberals, the social democrats initially tried to impose an amendment of 1.1 billion lei, which would have led to an increase in the budget deficit, but later they gave up. “Yesterday, PSD wanted to requires an amendment of 1.1 billion lei by increasing the budget deficit again. Today, Grindeanu had to accept that for his pride he has to cut the PSD minister of justice from the budget, not from the increase in the deficit”, Gabriel Andronache also transmitted.
“Grindeanu has reduced its bargaining power”
Deputy Florin Roman claims that this situation weakens Sorin Grindeanu within the party. “The one who lost is the arrogant leader of PSDexactly as he anticipated this morning. He was practically forced to accept a resettlement of amounts between two ministries led by the PSD (Labor and Justice, no. And to present defeat as victory. This is not the case, on the contrary, Grindeanu has substantially reduced his future negotiating power”he also declared.
A similar message was sent by Gabriel Andronache, who believes that the PSD leader came out of these negotiations weakened. “PSD is playing «White-Black» with the country’s budget. Even they admit that bribing the electorate no longer works“, he wrote on Facebook
Political forecast: another premier from the PSD
Both Florin Roman and Gabriel Andronache claim that, after these developments, Sorin Grindeanu will no longer be the party’s proposal for the position of prime minister.
“After this wrong strategy what pushed the PSD to isolation in the ParliamentI’ll give you another forecast: Grindeanu will no longer be the PSD prime minister at the rotary, but another pesedist. Let him stay here!”Gabriel Andronache transmitted.
On the other hand, PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu declared that he was satisfied with the result of the coalition negotiations. “PSD managed to impose the solidarity package in its entirety“, he said after Thursday’s meeting.
