ROLucian Bode, a former general secretary of Romania's National Liberal Party (PNL), has refused to resign despite being asked to do so by the PNL congress. He criticized the party's new approach to reform, describing it as one based on ultimatums and threats of exclusion for members who hold differing opinions. Bode accused the party of abandoning traditional voter bases, promoting outsiders, and avoiding responsibility. He denied claims that he was responsible for the party's severe financial situation, stating that all campaign decisions were made transparently and verified by external auditors like the Audit and Ethics Panel (AEP) and the Court of Audits. Bode argued that excluding critical voices does not lead to reform but rather to the party's eventual failure.
