Prime minister Ilie Bolojan, in an interview with RFI Romania this week, mentioned that a minority government is a solution of last resort, which he personally would not "encourage" – but he has not ruled out this scenario either.
The statement came after the Social Democrats (PSD) had repeatedly threatened to pull out of the ruling coalition unless their requests were met.
PM Bolojan explained that the minority government option "is not a working hypothesis."
"This is not desirable; it would be a borderline situation, and I personally do not encourage this situation," the prime minister added.
While the content of the economic relaunch programme advocated by PSD remains unclear, its absence would generate incommensurable economic complications, PSD's president, Sorin Grindeanu, argued.
