Prime Minister Viorica Dancila, the leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), said on Thursday evening that if the prime minister designated by President Klaus Iohannis signed and pledged that he/she would respect the pact for Romanians' welfare, which involves keeping salaries and pensions at the current level, then the Social Democrats would back the prime minister.
The prime minister said that if the new prime minister "is on people's side", then he/she will agree to the proposed pact.
"We cannot keep the country in instability, because this instability will have both internal and external consequences. And I am a conscientious person, who cares for this country and does not want this to happen. (...) If he/she is a correct person, if he/she cares for the people and if he/she does not want to take measures against people, I am convinced that he/she would sign," said Viorica Dancila.
