Romania's PNL Rules Out PSD Coalition, Deepens Government Deadlock

Romania's National Liberal Party (PNL) has publicly rejected any coalition with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), accusing it of prolonging the political crisis. PNL spokesperson Ionel Bogdan reaffirmed the party's willingness to support a government led by designated PM Luca Niculescu, but the refusal to partner with PSD leaves the path to a new government uncertain. This hardens the political stalemate in Bucharest, with no clear majority in sight.
