Jedan visoki član PNL-a opisao je ovaj prijedlog predsjednika kao "zamku", jer bi se predloženom koalicionom formulom stvorila još jedna manjinska vlada, što bi praktično dovelo do prijevremenih izbora koje Basescu i zagovara.
A senior PNL member described the president's proposal as "a trap", as the suggested coalition formula would produce another minority government, effectively leading to the early elections Basescu has been advocating.
