Ponta, după consultările la Cotroceni: „Sunt două propuneri oficiale, Grindeanu și cu mine. Președintele îl va nominaliza pe al treilea”
Victor Ponta announced two official proposals for the prime minister position, himself and Sorin Grindeanu, while a third independent candidate is expected. He expressed skepticism about the political situation, noting the disconnect between the presidency, parliament, and the public. The Uniți Pentru România party reiterated its support for Ponta as their candidate during consultations with President Iohannis, aiming to help resolve the ongoing political crisis. Răzvan Chiriță emphasized the need for a concrete proposal to move forward, remaining hopeful about the president's decision.
