First meeting between Niculescu and Grindeanu following the prime minister's appointment

Prime Minister-designate Luca Niculescu and PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu have initiated discussions ahead of their meeting on Thursday. The PSD is considering joining the government but is concerned about potential electoral repercussions from upcoming policies. Grindeanu emphasized the need for a shift from previous government strategies, particularly distancing from the former Bologna administration. The timing for the investiture vote hinges on when Niculescu presents his government program and ministerial list to Parliament, with a deadline approaching on October 15. Meanwhile, Niculescu is engaging with parliamentary parties to secure support for a majority.
