Romanian Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu’s job is on the line as the ruling party meets to discuss his government’s performance following signals he may be pushed out.
The premier, who took up his post in January, refused a demand from Social Democratic leader Liviu Dragnea for him to resign, according to two people with knowledge of the talks who asked not to be identified because the information isn’t public. Grindeanu called efforts to force him out an “unjustified public execution” and reiterated his plan to stay, the Digi 24 TV station reported Wednesday.
