On November 10, 2023, the Romanian Parliament appointed Sorin Lazăr as interim president of the Court of Accounts. The decision was made with 248 votes in favor, amidst accusations from PNL and USR of collusion between PSD and AUR. Lazăr, a former PSD deputy, will serve until a permanent president is appointed. The vote sparked heated debates, with opposition parties criticizing the cooperation between PSD and AUR for state positions. Lazăr has a background in finance and previously held leadership roles in the Parliament and ANRP. The Court of Accounts oversees public fund management in Romania, and its presidency has been vacant since July 2025.
