The journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu believes that the PSD is drawing time in the formation of the new executive, in order to create the impression that he has control over the whole political process and that “without him he cannot”. In an intervention on B1 TV, he criticized how the party led by Sorin Grindeanu manages the negotiations.

“The meaning would be nonsense. If they go to Cotroceni on Thursday and they should go out, there are all parties, with a statement in which we know who is a prime minister, from whom the government is formed and so on, that we are waiting for enough time, how to referendum on Friday if you enter the government? that they impose what is happening and what will happen. said Cristian Tudor Popescu.

Where Nicuşor Dan was wrong

The newspaper argues that the social-democrats apply a strategy for forcing their own position in relation to President Nicușor Dan, which he says has missed the decisive moment to take over the initiative.

“Obviously there are tactics through which the PSD wants to set this idea well:” Without it we can't. We are the ones we impose, we dictate what will happen. “This is what I can do. In my opinion, Nicușor Dan, I said, did not adopt an effective strategy. to designate Mr. Bolojan. And then he had to let them take as many discussions and negotiations, but under this designation. To be PSD under pressure and to always be told, “if it does not suit you to go”, “, A is to be for Cristian Tudor Popescu.

PSD puts pressure because it was left to do this

The journalist also emphasizes that the PSD has reached the position of dictating the conditions of the coalition, although he lost in two lines the presidential elections, not even sending his candidate to the second round. If the current government structure will be outlined in the transferred form, with PSD in the leadership and with multiple key functions in his hands, then the Social Democrats will come out of post-elegers.

“Now the PSD is the one who produces pressure on the other paris and on Nicușor Dan because he was left to do this. If things will look as he hears, that we do not know, nothing sure, we have no official statement, we do not even know how many ministries will be. Maybe in this way.

I do not know to what extent it is true that USR will have four ministries and that PSD has given up a ministry. Something, to accept such a news, that they have given something, a ministry, at this moment, on Tuesday evening, would be an unforgivable mistake at this time. In addition, it would mean that PNL and USR would have four ministries, that they would be set on a draw. Would PNL accept that? I do not know ”, said the journalist.

In his opinion, the Social Democrats are pursuing primarily the internal validation, in front of the party structures, not the actual government.

Until 2027, the PSD lens led by Grindeanu was to be validated in front of 2027, for the time being, the PSD lens was validated in front of its territory, of the mayors, the heads of county councils, of all the PSD organizations. This is the goal. Little they care about the governance, given by the one of 2027. This is the goal, to deliver, to present the current leadership with the achievements: seven ministries … But what does this look like: it sounds at Nicușor Dan, Nicușor Dan calls PSD and PSD says: «Yes. If USR wants another ministry, we give it ». How does this sound like? If he did that, it is the first gesture of force in the mandate of the president. If he has succeeded, for USR, it is his first gesture. How to succeed this in relation to PSD and even PNL, I do not see ”, said Cristian Tudor Popescu.

“I gave the hell and took my brother”

Cristian Tudor Popescu draws attention to the fact that the current leadership of the PSD is increasingly positioned in the area of ​​the sovereign and nationalist discourse, approaching ideologically gold.

“Important and bad is that the current leadership of the PSD, which is now validated in the party and will therefore resist – it becomes more likely that the Lord
Grindeanu will be elected president fulltogether with ALDE Paul Stănescu, Tudose, Vasilescu, Neacșu and who is – is “suvernamist”. It is a “suvernamist” leadership as in Dragnea's time. We, those who feared that these “sover” will come, these antiocytic, anti-European, antidemocracy, now we find that we gave the hell and took the brother-su, ”
He criticized the new leadership of the Social Democrats hard.
