President Klaus Iohannis has announced on Thursday that he will designate the Prime Minister candidate after Christmas.
"The consultations with parliamentary parties have ended after two days. I had in the course of these consultations two proposals for the Prime Minister office: the PSD [Social Democrat Party] has proposed Mrs Shhaideh, and the PMP [People's Movement Party] proposed Mr Tomac. On the other hand, in the mean time a majority coalition has formed in Parliament, a coalition formed by PSD, ALDE, and UDMR [Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania]. As such, in the coming days I will have discussions on these topics, with the designation to take place after Christmas," said Iohannis, at the Cotroceni Palace.
President Klaus Iohannis had on Wednesday consultations with PSD-ALDE, the National Liberal Party (PNL), the Save Romania Union (USR), and UDMR on Wednesday and on Thursday with the PMP and with the national minorities groups.
