| Description | BUCHAREST (Romania), September 6 (SeeNews) - The centre-right bloc formed by Save Romania Union (USR) and PLUS parties, a junior partner in the governing coalition, said that together with opposition right-wing nationalist party AUR they have filed a censure motion against prime minister Florin Citu after he dismissed justice minister Stelian Ion.
"We filed the censure motion. We believe that if PNL will propose another prime minister, the coalition can go on. Florin Citu no longer has our support," USR leader Dan Barna said during a news conference on Friday evening, following unsuccessful coalition talks.
Barna added that all USR PLUS ministers plan to resign this week. The bloc holds five portfolios in Citu's cabinet: health; EU funds; transport; economy and research; innovation and digitalisation.
"If the censure motion fails, USR PLUS will become an opposition party, while if it succeeds, we will start start talks with the National Liberal Party (PNL) and with the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR)."
President Klaus Iohannis lashed out at USR PLUS' joining forces with the Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR). |
