Pro-European coalition: A new president for Romania?

Romania - In a dramatic move, Romania's pro-European parties decided to form a majority that urges the nationalists far right! This decision comes after the turbulent elections that shake the country and redefined the political landscapes.

The left-wing Social Democratic Party (PSD), which was ahead in the elections on December 1st, got together on Tuesday evening with the center-right national liberal party (PNL), the Reformist Save Romania Union (USR) and the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party. An alliance that pretends the voices of the ultra-right and pro-Russian groups that have won more than a third of the seats!

a new course for Romania

The new coalition has set itself the goal of developing a common government program that focuses on development and reforms. "In the coming days, the four parties and representatives of national minorities will work on a common program that takes into account the priorities of the Romanian citizens," says a declaration of the coalition. A brave step that could set the course for a pro-European future!

The parties also plan to support a "joint pro-European candidate" for the upcoming presidential elections. But the question remains: Can Calin Georgescu, the controversial candidate of the ultra -right, take part in the new election? The public prosecutor is investigating its campaign and uncertainty hovers over the political climate of Romania.

political turbulence and challenges

The elections were overshadowed by allegations of election fraud and Russian interference. Shortly before the runoff on December 8, the constitutional court overturned the presidential elections - a shock for many! Elena Lasconi, the leader of the USR, which was to compete against Georgescu, emphasized that Romania is experiencing a "very difficult" phase and that savings in the state budget and a reduction in bureaucracy will be part of the government program.

But the coalition faces a challenge: in the past, the four parties have often argued about political questions. Analysts expect it to be difficult to agree on certain economic measures. And while the country is waiting for a new president, outgoing President Klaus Iohannis will nominate a prime minister. The political future of Romania remains exciting!
