Senate to Reschedule Justice Minister No Confidence Vote for Wednesday – Sources

The sources told MEDIAFAX that the Senate’s standing bureau will decide tomorrow morning whether the debate and vote of the motion will be scheduled during the day.

The bureau decided on Monday to postpone planned debates and votes on no-confidence motions against the justice minister and Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici, due to a lack of quorum.

Both motions, filed by opposition parties, were initially rescheduled for the Senate’s May 6 session, but can be called earlier by the standing bureau.

The motion against the justice minister has been delayed for the third time, after initially being scheduled for vote and debate last week. The minister was present to defend against the motion.

Also during Wednesday, Romania’s ruling Social Democrat Party (PSD) will hold an executive committee meeting, during which rumors suggest it will discuss discontent with Toader’s and his ministry’s activity and a possible replacement.
