Tensions have arisen between PNL and USR as they discuss a potential electoral alliance for 2028. Ciprian Ciucu, the mayor of Bucharest, labeled USR as "a party of agitators," prompting backlash from USR members, including Simona Spătaru and Clotilde Armand. They criticized PNL's collaboration with PSD and questioned Ciucu's claims of PNL being the only "normal" party. Spătaru highlighted PNL's governance with PSD as detrimental to the country, while Armand mocked Ciucu's stance. Amid these disputes, discussions for a possible alliance continue, with both parties analyzing local electoral strategies. Ciucu later clarified his comments, asserting that they were taken out of context and emphasized the need for collaboration with USR.
