PNL-PD Alliance officially broken

Both the Liberals and the Democrats are going to court next week to make their split official. Emil Boc, a president of the PD (Democrat Party), explained yesterday: "We have been waiting till the last minute to see whether it is possible to remake the "Truth and Justice" Alliance by a government of representatives of the PD, the PNL (National Liberal Party) and the PLD (Liberal-Democrat Party), but it is not. We are going to open the juridical procedures next week".
Apart from such a symbolical gesture, practical matters are more important because there are 6 vacant MP mandates for the dying Alliance which are now deadlocked. The leaders of the two parties are to meet the following days to decide on how to distribute the mandates. The Democrats and the Liberal-Democrats are going to have talks on means of parliamentary collaboration. The Democrats are for now reticent to common PD-PLD lists of candidates in the coming elections of MEPs in Romania and fusion is an issue not raised yet.
