"It's either a new PDL Government, or early elections", PSD president Victor Ponta said, quoted by Adevarul. Ponta claims PDL needs to form another Government, should PM Emil Boc be dismissed. The social democrats want the liberal-democrats to form another Government and name another PM if the censorship motion will be passed by the Parliament.
An alternative to another PDL government would be early elections, he states. According to him, PSD already gave u Klaus Johannis, the man they were supporting for the last elections, although ex-leader Mircea Geoana says it may still be a valid option. Even Johannis himself stopped believing in the idea of a technocrat cabinet, saying the issues are so dramatic that they need politicians to sort them out.
Ponta believes there is no need to negotiate with the liberals anymore, because they share the same position, namely the end of the Boc Cabinet.

The early elections idea is starting to grow in popularity among some politicians. "Better a month of elections than another month of PDL governing", Ponta concluded.
