Romanian Parliament Committees Thumb Down Proposed Education Minister

Leaders of the Social Democratic Party, Liberal Party and the Hungarian minority party said earlier this week their lawmakers would not endorse the ministers of the Cabinet proposed by the Prime Minister-designate Lucian Croitoru, nor will this government get a confidence vote in Parliament. The three parties have a majority of 65% in Parliament.

Parliament committees have so far rejected all proposed ministers, except Regional Development and Tourism Minister Vasile Blaga and proposed Foreign Affairs Minister Bogdan Aurescu.

Proposed ministers will be heard by parliamentary committees until Friday this week and the confidence vote for the new government will be held Wednesday, November 4. Croitoru said Friday he would seek a confidence vote in Parliament for a Cabinet of 14 ministries, headed by democrat liberals and experts.
