Political analyst Cristian Pirvulescu said on Friday that new prime minister-designate Ilie Bolojan is perceived as a cold surgeon who will operate without anesthetic, the pick of the Liberal for the position of prime minister being "logical", but also coming with certain risks, informs Agerpres.
"In the end, Nicusor Dan has pulled out the ace up his sleeve: Ilie Bolojan, the man with the red pen and the tight budget, becomes the prime minister-designate. The choice is logical, but is comes with certain risks. Bolojan is perceived as a cold surgeon who will operate without anesthetic. We are already wading through a multiple-faceted crisis. The budget deficit is affecting Romania's credibility, the European Commission is demanding concrete measures, and populism holds us in grip both on TikTok and in Parliament. In the meantime, the president and the future prime minister have already had disputes over the VAT," Pirvulescu declared for AGERPRES after Ilie Bolojan's designation as prime minister.
Against this background, argues Professor Pirvulescu, the far-right is warming up in the wings, hoping that the Bolojan Government will fail and the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians will reap all the benefits.
"This nomination is not a solution, but a bet. If he succeeds, Ilie Bolojan will repair what an entire political class has destroyed. If not, we may witness the end of a fragile democratic order," Cristian Pirvulescu warns.
President Nicusor Dan appointed on Friday interim leader of the National Liberal Party Ilie Bolojan as prime minister-designate, after holding consultations on Thursday with the political parties and formations represented in Parliament to vet the nominee for chief of the Executive.
