Încep consultările pentru formarea guvernului. Nicușor Dan față în față cu Sorin Grindeanu

The Romanian President Nicușor Dan is set to consult party leaders regarding the formation of a new government. Two main scenarios are on the table: a political government led by Sorin Grindeanu or an independent premier who can secure parliamentary support. The PSD has proposed Grindeanu, while PNL is open to dialogue but not negotiating names beforehand. USR has not taken a clear stance, and AUR will attend but not propose a candidate. The new government must navigate a fragmented parliament and avoid reliance on AUR, as the President aims to maintain a pro-Western direction and financial stability. S&P Global Ratings has warned that prolonged government formation could negatively impact Romania's credit rating, emphasizing the need for a credible budget framework.
