The National Liberal Party (PNL) has initiated negotiations for the absorption of Forța Dreptei, marking the first step towards creating a "Pole of Modernization". This decision opens discussions between the two parties but does not imply a finalized merger or Ludovic Orban's return to PNL. The negotiations aim to establish a center-right alternative for the 2028 elections, as confirmed by party officials. PNL plans to revitalize its specialized committees and include external experts in this process. Orban, who founded Forța Dreptei after leaving PNL in 2021, previously expressed interest in returning to the party.
