In turn, the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Chairman, Marcel Ciolacu, reiterated, on Thursday, that the social democrats currently have a proposal for prime minister, in the context in which the liberals announced that the National Liberal Party (PNL)'s proposal for the position of prime minister is Nicolae Ciuca."At this moment, PSD has a proposal for prime minister.
