Romanian Parliament appoints interim heads for TVR and SRR

Romanian public media TVR SRR political appointments PSD-AUR alliance

The Romanian Parliament has appointed interim leaders for the country's public broadcasters following a Constitutional Court ruling that invalidated previous appointments. Sorina Matei has been named interim director general of Televiziunea Română (TVR), while Răzvan Dincă will lead the Societatea Română de Radiodifuziune (SRR). Both appointments are set for a 60-day period.

The decision has sparked significant political tension. The PNL party has accused the PSD of a political deal with the AUR party to secure control over the national television station, describing it as a threat to democracy. Meanwhile, the SOS România party has announced it will support a new government led by the PSD to replace the current Bolojan cabinet, despite describing the PSD as an adversary.

Additionally, SOS România has proposed opening negotiations with the AUR party to form a new government and has expressed support for the suspension of President Nicușor Dan.
