Adrian Veștea has announced his intention to run for the leadership of the National Liberal Party (PNL), emphasizing seriousness and balance. He also called for an honest political partnership between the party and Nicușor Dan, and made a request to Ilie Bolojan.

Sorin Grindeanu a intrat nervos în ședința de joi cu parlamentarii partidului său și i-a atacat, pe rând, pe liderii PNL, USR și UDMR pentru că „sunt preocupați doar să înjure PSD-ul”.

Ilie Bolojan, president of PNL, met with leaders of UDMR and USR before the ultimatum given to designated Prime Minister Adrian Veștea expired and before UDMR's meeting, according to political sources.

PNL leaders are criticizing Nicușor Dan, with one comparing him to Carol II and accusing him of trying to 'break up' the party. These comments come ahead of a decisive PNL meeting regarding the Veștea government, with some questioning Dan's autonomy and the party's insistence on Bolojan.

Chisinau authorities announced public access restrictions in certain areas on June 13-14, coinciding with an official visit by Romanian official Ilie Bolojan to the Republic of Moldova.
