“The transition to the government must happen quickly,” said Prime Minister Nicolae Chouquet after Marcel Čolaku’s surprise announcement to suspend negotiations on a new government. Cholaku’s idea is also supported by the UDMR, which seems to agree with the postponement.

Chuke says that the PNL supports the unified wage law and the reform of special pensions (the reasons given by the PSD leader for the suspension of political discussions), but “the transition to the government must take place quickly, without syncope, in order to preserve the stability and balance of the Government.”

Nicolae Chuke’s reaction to Marcel Cholaku’s statement:

“From the beginning, the National Liberal Party claimed that the main concern of the coalition should be solving the problems of citizens. In addition, the PNL has signaled very clearly that there is a risk of pushing the political agenda away from the citizens’ agenda in the context of the topic of government rotation.

This was also the reason why the PNL demanded to follow the Protocol and avoid discussions about positions and persons, so as not to distance themselves from the real problems of the Romanians.

The solution to the demands of trade unions in education is found in the unified law on wages. Therefore, the PNL reiterates that the Ministry of Labor has the full support of the coalition to achieve a uniform wage law and special pension reforms as soon as possible. PNL demands an urgent solution to the demands of teachers, as well as the issue of special pensions.

At the same time, the transition to management should occur quickly, without syncope, in order to maintain the stability and balance of management. Only with seriousness and responsibility can we overcome this moment and ensure a functioning government in the future. Tomorrow at 12:00 I called a meeting with the trade unions, in the Government for discussion.”

UDMR seems to like the delay

However, the UDMR has a different opinion and announced that it agrees with the SDP’s proposal to postpone negotiations on the future government.

“I agree with this proposal! Governance for the people, society’s priorities should also be the priorities of the ruling coalition,” said Kelemen Hunor after Çolaku’s statement.

UDMR has just announced that it is returning to the negotiating table with PSD and PNL to form a new government.

The decision was taken by the leadership of the Union in a meeting held on Friday, after the UDMR delegation prematurely left the negotiations the day before, when the PNL made demands to the Ministry of Development, wanting to compensate for the loss of transport that the PSD is doing. do not give up.
