Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said the talks within the governing coalition are far calmer than the public statements of its members. He explained that four parties with long‑standing disagreements can act rationally in closed sessions but behave differently on television or in press releases. Bolojan noted an episode last week with Finance Ministry colleagues that, if only viewed publicly, would appear very problematic, but in person they clarified the situation. He added that he does not rule out a minority government without the Social Democratic Party but stresses that political stability is essential and that protocol, if respected, would have seen many reforms adopted. The remarks were made during an interview with RFI on Tuesday, 27 January 2026.
