“It was time for a difficult decision. I step back from the position of the USR president. I think this is correct, natural and good at this time. I step back and know that I did everything in my power last year to do Romania better,” wrote Lascial -Media post.

The mayor of Timișoara, Dominic Fritz, is to take over the USR's interim president.

The party's political committee will meet today to validate his support for Dan in the second round of the presidential elections.
