🛑 Cabinet

Prime Minister-designate Siegfried Mureșan launched a morning attack against Social Democratic Party leader Sorin Grindeanu, prompting a regional Liberal leader to politely remind Mureșan that his cabinet cannot pass without their votes. The Social Democrats and the Alliance for the Union of Romanians have already pledged to veto the proposed ministers, who are currently sitting through parliamentary hearings. The Presidential Administration acknowledged that a maritime drone which exploded in Constanța Port may have been hijacked by Russia based on preliminary assessments. Further up the coast, Spanish fighter jets scrambled after a drone crossed near the border at Isaccea, triggering emergency alerts in Tulcea. Prosecutors are seeking the preventive arrest of Călin Georgescu, appealing a court ruling in his fraud case. In the energy sector, Romgaz declined to purchase American gas—a decision an economist noted will benefit the company rather than Romanian consumers—while Nova Power reportedly tried to abandon the Doicești mini-reactor project before construction began simply to reclaim the land.
