The National Bureau of the USR unanimously adopted a resolution on Sunday that notes the appointment of Adrian Veștea for the position of prime minister and reaffirms that the party will not form a government with the PSD.

The formation announces that it will convene a Political Committee to make an official decision regarding the future Government.

USR conveys that it takes note of Adrian Veștea's nomination, but also of the fact that he was not informed beforehand about this decision. At the same time, he conveys that he owes the voters “clarity” and that he will remain “consistent with the decision not to form a government with the PSD”.

“A government that delivers results for citizens cannot be born from the betrayal of its own party. We will not betray the hopes and trust of our voters,” USR pointed out.

The six conclusions listed by the party

“1. USR notes the nomination of Adrian Veștea and the fact that we were not notified of this decision before.
2. We owe our voters clarity. We will remain consistent with our decision not to form a government with the PSD.
3. A government that delivers results for citizens cannot be born out of betrayal of its own party. We will not betray the hopes and trust of our voters. We will convene a Political Committee to make a formal decision regarding the Vestea Government.
4. We note with bitterness that, following the political crisis caused by PSD and AUR, it is precisely the political forces that are unequivocally committed to democracy and reform that are dynamited and excluded from governing the country.
5. The result of the Ciucă-Ciolacu government was a record inflation and the growth of extremism. A Ciucă-Ciolacu government under other names can have no other result than an amplification of the extremist wave and a worsening of the standard of living for Romanians. We will oppose this with all our might.
6. USR considers it absolutely necessary to officially form a reformist and pro-democracy pole that represents citizens with reformist options and for a fair and open society. That pole will oppose both extremism and a corrupt state, today and for years to come. Only around this pole can a government be formed that will maintain the reformist direction and democracy and that will deliver results as USR ministers have done in the last year”
