Romania’s president reportedly explores option of government of technocrats again

Romania’s president Nicușor Dan will propose to parliamentary parties a “truce government “ either formed by technocrats or a mixed one, meaning “a political government with technocrats as ministers,” according to Antena3 CNN, citing sources familiar with the negotiations on July 10, as reported by Observatornews.ro. On the day before, president Dan repeated in Ankara that the option of snap elections is “unlikely” - a slight deviation from more radical phrasing in the past.

Nicușor Dan's ambitious target is for the new government to be sworn in by Parliament during the extraordinary session scheduled around July 20, according to B1tv.ro. Although this session would be dedicated to the projects necessary for the implementation of the Resilience Facility (PNRR), the president would want the lawmakers to vote on the new government at that time.
