Democrats vote in favor of merger with a heavy heart
The vice presidents and the county branch leaders of the Democrat Party (PD) refused to make any statements after the session. The PD board openly demanded all members to refrain from expressing their discontent in public.
The only leader who made a statement was former Defense Minister Sorin Frunzaverde, who said that he was in favor of the merger, but he wished that the Democrats kept their name, instead of adding the "Liberal" nomination (the new formation is called the Democrat - Liberal Party), given the fact that PD was affiliated in the European Popular Party.
