Bro, sit down and let me tell you a story that makes you wonder if we still have a state or we're just a scandalous soap opera! So, Ilie Bolojan, the interim prime minister, talked today with the big shots in Brussels - Manfred Weber and Roberta Metsola - about European funds and reforms. He says, "Romania needs reforms, growth, and modernization."
Nice, but I say he should first look at his own backyard, because the PNL is dust and ashes! Seriously, how can you make reforms when your own party is adrift? Bolojan called an Extraordinary Congress on June 21, because "the situation demands it."
True, true, but I say it's too late. In the meantime, Ciprian Ciucu, PNL's first vice-president and mayor of Sector 6, was heard at the DNA for a corruption case - permits and authorizations from his time as mayor. Now he's under judicial control.
Listen to that! And so, while Bolojan struggles to hold the party together, Nicușor Dan appointed Adrian Veștea (also PNL) to form the government. Total chaos!
And to top it off, Diana Șoșoacă, from SOS Romania, proposed a minority SOS-AUR government or early elections. She even said she'd be willing to be prime minister: "I would make Romania great again, believe me." Man, that's a laughingstock!
I mean, you want to make Romania great again, but you're screwing us with the Russians? And she also challenged the constitutionality of Veștea's appointment, saying the president should have resumed consultations. Well, if you ask me, this is a bad joke.
We Romanians watch them fight over positions, while at the pump prices rise, and my Mioara counts the Lidl receipts to save a buck. So I'm off to explain to Brian how I lost a bet on Bolojan - he says the PNL will win the next elections, but when he hears about Ciucu and the DNA, his eyes go wide and he shuts up.
