PSD (Social Democratic Party) leader Marcel Ciolacu on Thursday said that he welcomes Prime Minister Florin Citu's decision to invite the Social Democrats to talks on the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR), noting that he has no problem with coming to the Government, because the PNRR belongs to Romania and the Romanians.

Romania plunged into a major political crisis for the second time in seven months after the party leadership of the ruling Social Democrat Party voted Monday to withdraw their political support for Prime Minister Mihai Tudose.

Romanian President Klaus Iohannis on Wednesday agreed to appoint Social Democrat MEP Viorica Dancila as the country's first ever woman prime minister.

Dancila, 55, was nominated by the ruling Social Democrat Party on Tuesday to head Romania's third cabinet in the last year.

The political upheaval took place after the ruling Social Democratic Party took its trust from Prime Minister Mihai Tudose and he resigned.

This will be the third change of Prime Minister in the Social Democrats government for the past year.
