Mihai Tudose, the Social Democratic Party (PSD)'s proposition for Prime Minister, was designated by President Klaus Iohannis for Premier on Monday evening, after consultations at the Cotroceni Presidential Palace with the parliamentary parties.
According to the head of state, PSD and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) maintain they are still holding the majority in Parliament.
"These two parties have come together to the consultations and have forwarded a proposal in the person of Mr Tudose. The Opposition parties, in fact, didn't have concrete proposals for the prime minister office and the talks didn't point to a political understanding existing among Opposition parties. (...) I am asking the parliamentary parties, not only PSD and ALDE, to start right away to draw up an agenda allowing the completion of the parliamentary procedures this very week," Iohannis showed.
