The National Liberal Party (PNL), the Save Romania Union Party (USR), and the minority Hungarian party UDMR put forward Liberal member of the European Parliament Siegfriend Mureșan as prime minister of Romania after meetings held on Friday, June 26. According to a PNL press release, the proposal aims to meet several urgent problems facing the country, including the absorption of the Recovery and Resilience Facility, or PNRR, the defense-oriented SAFE financing, ensuring OECD accession for Romania, and balancing the public budget. The future executive should also, according to the Liberals, continue reforms and “make use of every development opportunity in the interest of citizens.” Mureșan, 44, said he has experience with Romania’s “emergencies” and wants a “pro-European government through action, not declarations.” He also vowed to continue the reforms begun by former PM and current PNL leader, Ilie Bolojan. The proposed PM was one of the three chief negotiators of the European Parliament for the European Recovery and Resilience Mechanism. “My conviction is that people in Romania want modernisation and reform, and our concern is to make an honest, fair offer, adopted and supported transparently by the parties for people who want a Romania in which honest work is rewarded and appreciated. I am aware of Romania’s urgencies, and Romania’s urgencies are exactly the topics I have been working on for years in the European Parliament and at the European level,” said Siegfried Mureșan, cited by News.ro .
