Romanian Lawmakers Meet To Analyze No-Confidence Motion To Oust Govt

„I am confident the no-confidence motion will be submitted today. The two chambers of Parliament will convene tomorrow to discuss the no-confidence motion to oust the Government,” Geoana said.

Geoana added the Social Democratic Party is analyzing the no-confidence motion proposed by liberals and upheld by the Hungarian minority party so that they have no reserve when presenting it in the Parliament.

Romania’s Social Democratic Party, which left the country’s coalition government last week and switched to opposition, decided Monday to back a no-confidence motion to oust the all-democrat liberal government which now lacks Parliament majority.

Social democrat leader Mircea Geoana said his party will vote to oust the government, which he said is now functioning illegally because its structure has changed.

Geoana also said he wants a no-confidence vote in Parliament to stop the government’s actions to rid local administration of social democrats and prevent the democrat liberals’ „election rigging plan”.
