Romania’s PM Bolojan: a prime minister may step down, but problems will remain

Commenting on the constant claims circulated by Social Democrat (PSD) leaders about imminent changes in the ruling coalition’s functioning, before a formal position on this is expected from PSD’s grand consultation on April 20, Liberal (PNL) prime minister Ilie Bolojan told Digi24 that “as long as I am in this position, I do what is right for Romania.” He also warned that while a minister or even a prime minister can step down, this would not solve the pile of problems Romania’s economy is facing.

Romania’s Social Democrat leader, Sorin Grindeanu, is currently holding regional meetings where local representatives of the party are expressing their dissatisfaction with the policies implemented by PM Bolojan – which the prime minister argued are nothing more than the policies jointly agreed by the parties in the ruling coalition, under the cooperation protocol.
