The cabinet headed by the Liberal Florin C\u00ee\u0163u was dismissed on Tuesday
\nfollowing a no-confidence motion backed by 3 out of the 5 political parties in
\nthe Parliament of Romania.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The document tabled by the Social Democrats and entitled STOP poverty,
\nprice rises and convicted criminals reads that Romania’s only way out of the
\non-going political, economic and social crisis is for the C\u00ee\u021bu government
\nto step down. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Social Democrats criticised the Cabinet for Romanians’ worsening
\nliving standards, for the lack of measures to counter the energy price rises
\nand the depreciation of the national currency, and for the alarming increase of
\nthe country’s public debt. The list also includes the poor absorption of EU
\nfunds, the inadequate implementation of support programmes for small businesses
\nand the disinterest in the Romanian farmers’ problems. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Opposition also
\nblamed the government made up of the National Liberal Party, USR and the
\nDemocratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania for the disaster in public
\nhealthcare, and argued that instead of fighting the COVID pandemic, the
\ngovernment managed to hinder the fight against chronic diseases. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Social Democrats were by no means lenient with USR PLUS either,
\nalthough C\u00ee\u0163u’s cabinet became a minority government precisely due to the USR leaving
\nthe ruling coalition. But in spite of the criticism, USR backed the
\nno-confidence motion, to make sure that Florin C\u00ee\u0163u, whom they blame for
\nbreaking up the coalition, is sacked. The nationalist party AUR also supported
\nthe motion. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
Ahead of the vote, Florin C\u00ee\u0163u described what he called the new majority
\n(the Social Democratic Party, USR, AUR) of being irresponsible. The head of the
\nLiberal floor group in the Chamber of Deputies, Florin Roman, said after the
\nvote that the Liberals will come up with a new PM nomination, as soon as the
\nparty’s leading structures decide so.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The Social Democrats are hoping for early elections, and, should a
\npolitical majority be reached, they are considering a government of experts
\nuntil such elections are held, the party chief Marcel Ciolacu said. The ball is
\nnow in president Iohannis’s court, according to the Constitution, the Social
\nDemocratic leader also said, and emphasised the need to overcome this moment
\nof political hysteria and to move into a responsible and constitution-abiding
\narea.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
The new president of USR, Dacian Ciolo\u015f, called on the outgoing PM to
\nshow self-discipline and said he expected a balanced response from the
\nNational Liberal Party. He said he would refrain from further comments until a realistic
\nproposal for a ruling coalition is made. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n
<\/p>\n
In turn, Deputy George Simion, co-president of AUR party, said Florin
\nC\u00ee\u0163u should not be kept even on an interim term, and mentioned that his party
\nhas a list of experts ready for a technocratic government, and will negotiate
\nit with the other political parties. (tr. A.M. Popescu)<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
