The leadership of Romania's governing Social Democrats (PSD) elected their former executive president as new "interim" president of the party,a seat held for the past several years by prime minister Victor Ponta. Ponta stepped down as party president "temporarily" earlier this month because of his being indicted in a corruption case. So the PSD leaders convened to name a replacement and found it in Liviu Dragnea, an influential member who has one mammoth issue: he himself was not only indicted, or by received a one-year suspended sentence in a corruption case,a sentence which he has appealed.
