The coalition made up of the Social Democratic Party-the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats in Romania has proposed the Romanian MEP Viorica D\u0103ncil\u0103 for the position of PM. In the case of the right-wing opposition parties, the National Liberal Party and the Save Romania Union have announced they will not endorse this nomination and take into consideration the idea of holding snap elections, whereas the Peoples Movement Party says it will make its own nomination for the position of prime minister.
