Chairman of the Save Romania Union (USR) Dan Barna has stated on Wednesday that, on short term, the party's merger with the Liberty, Unity, Solidarity Party (PLUS) is unlikely, the goal being to strengthen the USR PLUS Alliance in view of the local elections.
He mentioned that the USR PLUS Alliance has been created in order to give a long-term "credible" governance perspective in Romania.
In his view, the USR PLUS Alliance is stronger after the result of the presidential elections and after the result of the internal vote regarding his support at the helm of the USR.
He also said that he is "aligned" with Dacian Ciolos on the idea that the two parties - USR and PLUS - have only the option of a collaboration and "an alliance which can give and maintain hope in the next period."
