The massive purges decided in the ruling forums of the National Liberal Party are beginning to show their concrete effects in the territory through strategic appointments aimed at blocking any form of rebellion. After a tense meeting in which it was decided to severely sanction those who boycotted the official line of the party, the central leadership quickly moved to the phase of installing some important figures in the counties controlled until yesterday by the dissident leaders.
Restoration of control in Ilfov county
The stake of eliminating from the equation those who contested the decisions from Bucharest was realized through an extremely interesting move on the local axis. Instead of vehement protesters, the central leadership preferred to turn to leaders with massive experience in party structures, able to close ranks and quickly neutralize the supporters of the old county regime.
Official information confirms the administrative decapitation of the Ilfov branch and the return to the front line of an extremely influential figure in the organization’s recent past.
Hubert Thuma, replaced by Marian Petrache at the head office PNL Ilfov
Instead of Hubert Thuma, one of the leaders targeted by the measures of the National Liberal Party following the support given to Adrian Veștea, he was appointed to take over the interim management of the branch PNL Ilfov, the former president of the Ilfov County Council, Marian Petrache.
His appointment means, in fact, a return to the forefront of the organization that he led for years and which, according to the central leadership, needs “stability and reconstruction” after the internal rift.”
Strong hand in Brașov for the isolation of the defeated camp
The same strategy of rapid replacement was applied in the second major dissident fiefdom, where government failure left the county organization completely exposed to reprisals from the center. The central leadership here relied on a local leader newly reconfirmed by vote, giving him the task of cleaning the structures from the influence of the former premier designate.
The details of the reorganization in Brașov county clearly show the determination of the team around him Ilia Bolojan to take total control over the political resources in the territory.
George Fiddlerinstead of Adrian Veștea, at PNL Brașov
Brașov was taken over by the mayor of the municipality, George Scripcaru, who thus replaces Adrian Veștea, president of the County Council and designated prime minister, but not voted in Parliament.
Scripcaru is now the one in charge of reorganizing the branch at a time when the PNL is trying to regain its internal cohesion and limit the effects of the conflict between the Bolojan camp and the Veștea group.
