Romania’s prime ministery Sorin Grindeanu has refused to resign in spite of a decision by his party’s executive committee to withdraw its support for his government. He says he will remain in his position until Romania’s president appoints another candidate to his post. Grindeanu claims he was offered top positions at various institutions in exchange for his resignation, but he claims that the decision by the executive committee of the Social Democrats (PSD) will end up serving only the opposition parties. He warns that a virtual opposition grouping is being created within the party itself. He asked that PSD boss Liviu Dragnea to take responsibility for the failure of the government’s minister by resigning, since he had placed them there.
