On the other hand, the president of the PMP, Eugen Tomac, declared on Monday that he hopes with optimism for the final result of the parliamentary elections, expressing his hope that his party will be able to cross the electoral threshold.

The main leaders of the PNL announced before the elections that they want to run a government with the USR, PMP and UDMR. The data shows that this coalition could consolidate a majority in Parliament, especially since the parties will receive a small percentage after the redistribution of votes from the parties that did not enter the Legislature, around 15%.
