Following the withdrawal of Ludovic Orban from the race for the post of prime minister of the future government, surprise names appeared on the list of possible nominees for the formation of the Cabinet. Eduard Hellvig, former secretary general of the PNL, current director of the SRI, is one of those who could be appointed by President Klaus Iohannis.
The Liberals are also discussing the option of appointing Virgil Popescu, Minister of Economy, as head of the Executive.
During Monday, after Klaus Iohannis called Ludovic Orban to a private discussion at the Cotroceni Palace, the party leaders advanced the name of Ilie Bolojan, the current president of the Bihor City Council, the name of the Minister of Defense, Nicolae Ciucă , but also the Minister of Finance, Florin Cîțu, for the position of Prime Minister.
On Tuesday there will be a meeting between Klaus Iohannis and the NLP leaders; most likely, the issue related to the identity of the future prime minister will be addressed.
Klaus Iohannis announced that he would quickly convene consultations with the parliamentary parties to form the new government, emphasizing that there is no possibility that PSD or an alliance built around PSD will assume responsibility for the government.
Right now, a right-wing coalition of PNL, USR-PLUS and UDMR is emerging, with the parliamentary support of minorities other than the Hungarian.
