The CExN members voted unanimously to exclude from the PSD those who would accept to be part of a possible Cabinet of Sorin Grindeanu. All PSD ministers resigned after the ALDE leader Calin Popescu Tariceanu had announced earlier that party ministers gave up their functions.

According to PSD chairman Liviu Dragnea, the Government has achieved less than 39% of the measures mentioned in the governance program for this period.
