PSD Still Testing PM Options
The Social Democratic Party (PSD) has won the parliamentary elections for seven days now, but the party is still testing “the market” with various names of potential prime ministers.
The testing period for the name of technocrat Vasile Dancu ended suddenly a few days before the elections, when Dragnea announced that Mr. Dancu said he did not want to be a PM.
Right after the results of the exit-polls, the party resumed the testing with the name of Dragnea as prime minister. Dragnea has positioned himself as potential prime minister by his speech in the night of the elections, when he talked about Romania’s governing program and foreign policy position. (mediafax)
