Eugen Tomac către PNL: Mergeți în Opoziție fără Demagogie

Prime Minister designate Eugen Tomac responded Thursday to the PNL’s decision to oppose his proposed government. While Tomac stated he respects the PNL’s choice to enter the opposition, he urged the party to abandon “demagoguery,” citing the PSD’s previous support for the dismissed government.

Why did the PNL refuse to vote for Eugen Tomac’s government?

The PNL leadership decided during a Thursday morning meeting that 76 of its senators and deputies will not vote for the government proposed by Eugen Tomac.

Ilie Bolojan declared that such an Executive would serve as nothing more than a “screen for PSD.” This decision places the PNL in the role of the opposition.
