The initial news
The discussion between the two may not be pleasant, considering that, on Sunday night, the scrutiny showed that the Liberals are five percent behind the PSD, well below the score estimated by the polls before the elections, but also below the figures presented. from the Avangarde exit poll.
Sources from the NLP leadership told Digi24.ro that the atmosphere at the Liberal headquarters was “bitter”, with Prime Minister Orban smoking in silence for hours in front of the screen on which the results of the count were projected.
Liberals say that at one point, Ludovic Orban allegedly resigned from the party presidency, after which he withdrew this intention.
Orban is expected to urge Klaus Iohannis to keep him at the head of the party and at the head of the new government, although most of his party colleagues blame him, not yet to his face, for his mistakes in government and the campaign. which would have led to the loss of the elections.
