The only coalition and the only majority that can secure and implement everything that is needed in Romania is the incumbent ruling coalition and now it has „a binder” that is Crin Antonescu, according to Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, the national leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) in the ruling coalition.
Ciolacu was scheduled on Friday to attend a general assembly of the National Union of Romania’s County Councils together with the country’s interim President Ilie Bolojan, Minister of Internal Affairs Catalin Predoiu, national leader of the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania UDMR) Kelemen Hunor, and the candidate of the ruling coalition for the presidential election, Crin Antonescu.
„If this coalition, which is a majority coalition in the Romanian Parliament, does not have the capacity and continues to stand on the defensive of some parties or individuals who do not represent anything at the level of Parliament and we continue to sit in waiting, we are making a serious mistake. The only coalition and the only majority that can secure and implement everything that is needed in Romania is in this chamber. Arithmetic is very clear, it’s a fixed science, it’s not something random, and let’s try to do other exercises. I will never accept an alliance with the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR),” said Ciolacu.
He added that PSD and the National Liberal Party (PNL) managed to overcome political disputes in the previous electoral campaign.
„I know that we have slaughtered each other, PSD and PNL, for 3 months after 3 years of standing shoulder to shoulder. It was stupid what we did that, but we found with President Bolojan and with you the resources to overcome and see not our party interest, not our personal interest, the interest and the complicated situation that Romania was going through. We have a binder, it is Crin Antonescu, it is also the guarantor, that’s why it will continue to be there, and I think we cannot afford to miss such a chance again. But that is done through involvement,” Ciolacu said.
