Romanian Social Democrats Say NO To Magyar Democratic Union For Govt Coalition

The mandate given by the party’s Central Executive Committee “explicitly” indicates the acceptance of an alliance with the Democratic Liberal Party, without the Magyar Democratic Union as part of the Government coalition, Geoana explained.

Following negotiations between the social democrats and the democrat liberals on Wednesday, Geoana said the social democrats will negotiate a governing coalition including only the democrat liberals, excluding the Magyar Democratic Union.

“This is not negotiable,” Geoana said.

He added the social democrats’ viewpoint on the matter is “extremely clear”, and involves a Government coalition with the democrat liberals, without the Magyar Union.

Head of the Magyar Democratic Union in Romania, Marko Bela, said Wednesday following another meeting with the democrat liberals that the latter party is maintaining its position to have the Union as partner in the coalition Government.

“We further agree to have a collaboration between the Democratic Liberal Party and the Magyar Democratic Union for the interest of the new Government, and our peers in the Democratic Liberal Party maintain their position to have the Union in the new coalition and the future Government,” Marko said.
