PSD threatens to withdraw support or table a censure motion against Prime Minister Viorica Bolojan over disagreements about the third reform package and 2026 budget. Party leaders accuse Bolojan of ignoring PSD proposals and not consulting the party, which controls the largest share of seats in Parliament. PSD demands that the reform package be paired with an economic stimulus and a clear plan to reduce state spending. Finance Minister Alexandru Nazare says the government will try to avoid budget deficits while preparing a 2026 budget that includes a 1 % growth estimate. If PSD is not satisfied, it may either stay in the coalition without voting censure or trigger a motion that could bring the government down. The article notes that a breakdown could halt EU funding, pensions and salaries, worsening the country’s economic stability amid the broader geopolitical tensions in Eastern Europe. The situation remains tense, with PSD leaders calling for a new prime minister from the PNL who would be more willing to negotiate.
