Ponta backs Niculescu government, warns of 'national disaster' if investiture fails

Victor Ponta, leader of the United for Romania parliamentary group, announced support for the government proposed by designated PM Luca Niculescu, without conditioning investiture on cabinet participation. He called the PSD's obstruction 'aberrant and inexplicable' and warned that failure of this government would lead to an uncontrolled 'national disaster'. The move signals a potential realignment in Romanian politics, but the outcome of the investiture vote remains uncertain.
