The board of the non-Parliamentarian party The Popular Action (AP) will meet as soon as possible to put in shape the calendar for the merger with the governing Liberal Party, an AP press release informs. The reaction comes two days after the Liberals opened negotiations to for alliance with The Popular Alliance, the Conservatives and the Christian Democrat National Peasants' Party.

The release claims that the move comes as a reaction to "attempts of bringing the political decision into one party's monopoly". Liberal vice president Ludovic Orban declared that the Permanent Delegation of the party was convoked on March 20, when a decision will be reached on the merger.
