Behind the scenes. How the party heavyweights put Orban on the wall. Who defended the president of PNL. “The function in the Chamber is important, but not to sell everything”

Participating sources told “Adevărul” that immediately after the presentation of the names of the ministers, Ilie Bolojan (president of the Bihor County Council) informed them that he was deeply unhappy with the negotiation and that he would vote against it. In fact, Bolojan has been criticizing Orban internally for the past few days. Then came perhaps the harshest attacks, from Florin Román, vice president of the PNL and until recently the leader of the liberal deputies. “Mr. Orban, you sold the party. I will travel through Romania to tell the mayors that you sold the party for the presidency. Do not threaten me with undercover thugs by your side. I was not afraid of Dragnea, I will not be afraid of you either.” , Florin Román told him, according to some participating sources.

Then Emil Boc took the floor, a politician who did not say a word about his discontent in the public sphere, but who in the meeting reproached Orban for giving up the European Funds and the NLP will no longer have the leverage for the so-called campaign. development of Romania. Ironically, the mayor of Cluj stressed that the only thing they will be able to modernize is the social protection system, since Munca was left with the PNL.

Rareş Bogdan said he was disappointed in the disastrous way Orban negotiated. “We were not allowed to leave without Development and Transport. The position in the Chamber is important, but not everything is sold”, Rareş Bogdan would have told him. Also, the first vice president of the PNL criticized the election of Alexandru Nazare for the Ministry of Finance .

NLP General Secretary Robert Sighiartău, who has been in open conflict with Orban since the NLP chairman started ignoring those on the negotiating team, told him that he had emptied the slogan “Develop Romania”. Sighiartău noted that Orban negotiated in the worst possible way. Basically, the people who oppose branches like Bihor, Cluj, Alba or Bistrita were against Orban.

Ludovic Orban saved the relationship with the Sibiu branch during the last hundred meters, as Raluca Turcan came close to losing any position in the Government and in Parliament. NLP Sibiu continues to be among the strongest branches.

Orban’s reproaches

Orban directly faced his opponents. Robert Sighiartău reproached him for not wanting to be Minister of Public Works when he was proposed. He told others who questioned his ability to negotiate that they had not performed as well as they claimed. He also explained that in the case of Bolos, he could not continue with the Funds. “People, we are going to have a convention. The mayors will decide,” Orban told them according to the sources cited.

Ludovic Orban was defended by Virgil Guran, who specified that the president of the PNL negotiated in the “interest of the party”, while Dan Vîlceanu and Vlad Nistor stressed that currently it would be “absolutely strategic to have the current ministries.” Vice President Laurenţiu Leoreanu also sided with the NLP leader.

In the end, in the final vote, the Cîţu team was voted in by 63 people. Those who voted against were Bolojan and Roman, and among those who abstained were Sighiartău and Dan Motreanu, in the latter category five votes.

NLP BPN political sources claim that the validation of the NLP team does not mean to bury the security of war. The conflict is just beginning and tensions will deepen in the coming months, especially as the NLP Congress approaches. According to “Adevărul” sources, the Transylvanian branches will seek to choose another leader to compete against Orban. “What happened last night is only the beginning. It is not fair to be the mockery of a president who surrounded himself with people who whisper only who to labyrinth, not how to build,” concluded the leader of BPN’s NLP.
