Summary/Abstract: The dismissal of the Sandu government by PSRM and the PDM has put an end to the extended honeymoon manifested in the collaboration in the parliament between the ACUM bloc and PSRM. In spite of the aligned vote of the Socialists and Democrats, several representatives of both parties have expressed the idea that the common vote does not imply the formation of a government coalition. However, the credibility of such statements is questionable due to the way in which the redistribution leadership positions at the level of parliamentary committees took place, namely by replacing the representatives of the ACUM bloc with the representatives of the two named parties. This reapportionment has profound implications for the reconfiguration of the balance of power both at the level of the standing committees and in relation to the activity of the Parliament in general.
