President of Romania’s reformist Save Romania Union (USR), Dominic Fritz , dismissed reports suggesting the party could join a government together with the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), describing the claims as “disinformation viruses” aimed at destabilising the centre-right bloc formed with the National Liberal Party (PNL). The statement came after media outlets, including TV stations, had intensely circulated the scenario about a PSD-USR-UDMR government. In a Facebook post cited by G4media.ro , Fritz criticised television stations for circulating rumours based on unnamed political sources regarding a possible rapprochement between USR and PSD. According to Fritz, the reports are intended “to sow distrust and break the alignment between the two major centre-right parties, USR and PNL”.
