"We have three decisions in the party, already made, in which we stated that we will not vote for any government that includes PSD or people who were supported by PSD. Mr. Luca Niculescu, although he is a professional, a person with experience in public administration and diplomacy, has been supported throughout his professional career by PSD, including for the position of state secretary, an appointment, as you know, political, made in 2022 with the support of PSD. At the same time, we have always been open to dialogue, you should know, we will have discussions, we will ask Mr. Luca Niculescu what the program he proposes is, but more importantly, what is the majority that will support this government in Parliament. Because we can only see it if AUR is there as well. And we cannot be part of this majority alongside extremists." The leader of the USR deputies, Diana Stoica, stated on Wednesday that the designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu does not fit the definition of a technocrat, arguing that although he is a professional with experience in public administration and diplomacy, he has been politically supported by PSD throughout his career, including for the position of state secretary. #USR #LucaNiculescu #DianaStoica (translated)
