Romania’s president Nicusor Dan, in an interview for Europa FM on April 16, announced that “we are at the beginning of a political crisis” but stressed that the outcome, which he pledged not to influence, can only be shaped by the pro-European parties. The red line is nominating a prime minister for a would-be coalition formed by the Social Democrats (PSD) with the opposition party AUR, which president Dan said would never cross.
President Dan placed himself in the neutral zone, saying that he doesn’t want to be on one side or another in the conflict between Social Democrats and prime minister Ilie Bolojan – backed by the Liberal Party (PNL) and the reformist party USR. He implied that both sides are responsible for the emerging political crisis.
