Romanian Minister and PSD Leader Clash Over Highway Permit Delay

Interim Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu publicly accused PSD leader Sorin Grindeanu of lying about a delayed environmental permit for the Sibiu–Pitești Highway, escalating a political dispute. The claim that the permit has awaited signature since August 14 is contested, with Buzoianu alleging Grindeanu and an associate are spreading falsehoods. This reflects intra-coalition tensions that could affect infrastructure project timelines and political stability.
