Why the chances of PSD will come out of the government are small. An analyst: “Under these conditions, they are convicted to stay together”
The law for the payment of private pensions causes heated reactions in coalition. However, the problems between the four political formations are deeper, and the Social Democrats are the ones who are on the foot of the Bolojan Government, which seems to break down at every decision. However, a rupture of the current formula is quite likely, points out the political scientist Andrei Taranu.

The Social Democrats meet on Monday in a meeting of the National National Bureau to discuss the PSD participation in the government. Officially, the dissatisfaction of the party would be related to the positioning of the governance partners towards the organization of the funerals for the former president of Romania Ion Iliescu. In fact, the leaders in the territory are dissatisfied with how the party and the minor role they play in the government are led. The most recent topic that causes tensions in the coalition is related to the law on the payment of private pensions, which would limit the right of citizens to withdraw money from Pillar II.
“I hope it is not a calculation like that – we are looking for a pretext to get out of government.”says the Liberal Ciprian Ciucu about the meeting of the governing colleagues. On the other hand, the head of the USR, Dominic Fritz, points out that the PSD has signed the coalition agreement, which is very clear and that “Nothing happened that would contravene this agreement ”. The opinions regarding the project for private pensions are divided into USR and PNL, and UDMR rejects the proposals of the government led by Ilie Bolojan.
USR, problems with PSD and PNL
“The USR does absolutely anything to delimit PSD. And the PSD as well, but especially the USR. And this is because USR leaders say that their electorate believes that it is almost unacceptable to be in government with the PSD. From the government.explains the political scientist Andrei Taranu.
In addition to the delimitation between PSD and USR, which the two formations constantly emphasize, in the coalition are, in fact, problems between several parties. So far PSD has always been “The first violin” of the cabinets of which he was a part. With the largest party apparatus in the back and most parliamentarians, now the political formation is forced not only to give up functions. It is often put “In the embarrassing posture of being the child punished though he is, let's tell him, the older brother”, The political scientist points out.
On the other hand, between PNL and USR is the problem of the electorate, the Liberals being aware that the USR targets the same voters. “PNL, in particular, the PNL of Boc and those from Transylvania, are much closer to the PSD than the USR”, explains the political scientist Andrei Taranu.
“None of the parties that are there, probably neither PNL and PSD, after this long marriage started in 2021, are not very happy” – Andrei Taranu, political scientist
In another corner of the current form of government, the UDMR is forced to react, with certain limits, the political schedule shows: “UDMR, usually is the adult in the room, There are only certain points that the UDMR cannot accept. Although, D.This is this time and PNL is the adult in the room, especially through Bolojan, who is trying to keep the coalition. ”
“This coalition is made not to reach power gold. None of the parties that are there, probably neither PNL and PSD, after this long marriage started in 2021, are not very happy. They just have nothing to do. The only one who could get out of there and there would be much more. The USR comes out and the UDMR remains, the government is Şchiop.also points out the political scientist Andrei Taranu.
Another formula, impossible without anticipated elections
Regarding the speculation that another alliance could be formed, voices from in the PSD would prefer the gold alliance instead of the USR, especially since the election of the formation has migrated here.
However, the political scientist points out that “It is not so easy. “ PSD would not have a majority with gold and another party would be needed to support a minority government in the Parliament, in the absence of early elections: “Imagine a basin. There the water is the same for all the fish. It does not change. You have to change this water at one point. You change it at four. There are no early elections, we cannot build new”.
