Nastase heralds PSD leadership reforms

PSD chairman Adrian Nastase announced the party would reduce its leadership structure in August, with either five or seven positions for deputy chairmen to remain. Leaders of local organisations with bad results at the local elections will have to resign by July 5th, Nastase said.

The permanent PSD delegation also decided to present a new PSD leadership structure in August, when the congress of this faction is scheduled. Currently, the Permanent Delegation has 22 members, 20 of whom are either members of Parliament or the Government.

Nastase specified that in his opinion, the positions of only five to seven deputy chairmen should be maintained and that the executive chairman position should be similarly kept. This position is currently held by Octav Cozmanca, but his dismissal has been requested by many PSD leaders, through their calls for the abolition of the post itself.

According to the PSD leader, clearer divisions of responsibility between the administrative, parliamentary and political domains will thus be achieved within the future Permanent Delegation.
