The Save Romania Union (USR) will not vote in office Liviu Dragnea's nominee for PM, "which is a poor and inefficient choice," said USR deputy and former Minister of European Funds Cristian Ghinea.
"A disappointing proposal. A puppet Dragnea left behind at the Ministry of Development where he was actually the one who was pulling the levers including this year, and we sensed this inside the government. If she lands this position, Shhaideh will lead a dysfunctional government because we cannot have two power structures: a government and a party that monitors the government. So practically Liviu Dragnea is placing a puppet here to smoothen his way to taking over as PM," Ghinea said at the Palace of Parliament.
He added that the USR delegation will let President Iohannis know all these objections when they go to the Cotroceni Palace for consultations.
Asked what exactly the issue was with Mrs. Shhaideh, Ghinea said that "word came out that Mr. Dragnea had left his cronies at the Ministry of Development and that they were blocking various initiatives." "I cannot precisely put my finger on anything specifically, but when you feel that something bothers you, you look around to see who put grit in the engine, so to speak, and it was this lady," he argued.
Sevil Shhaideh is the Social Democrats' proposal for Prime Minister, party Chairman Liviu Dragnea announced on Wednesday, adding that "for the time being" he cannot claim the office himself.
