Three ministries will also have Hungarian leaders, and the party will have 12 secretaries of state and an undersecretary of state.

The Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (DAHR) nominates Hunor Kelemen, Attila Cseke, Barna Tánczos and Eduárd Károly Novák for the incoming government of Citu.

The names leaked to the press were confirmed by DAHR President Kelemen Hunor at a press conference on Monday afternoon. He said the Council of Federal Representatives (SZKT), considered the DAHR’s small parliament, voted to participate in government at its online meeting Monday afternoon. The names of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministerial Candidates must also be approved by the Permanent Federal Council meeting on Monday evening.

Under the proposal, DAHR will appoint Kelemen Hunor, DAHR president, as Deputy Prime Minister, Attila Cseke, Development Minister, Barnát Tánczos, Environment Minister, and Eduárd Károly Novák, Youth Minister.

Kelemen Hunor said that the coalition negotiations had been going on for ten days with brief interruptions, but that the text was also being finalized at the time of the press conference.

The DAHR president said that a separate chapter has been dedicated to minorities in the government program, which includes institutional guarantees for the preservation of identity. The program also includes the passage of a law on the status of minorities, as required by the constitution. He considered it probable that the law that the Tariceanu government had approved in parliament in 2007 would be dusted off and recast.

According to Kelmen Hunor, the government program also includes lowering the threshold above which minority rights in local administration belong to local government by amending the administrative code. However, he noted that the government program does not specify exactly how long the current 20 percent rate will be reduced.

He also said that DAHR’s proposals were included in the economic, labor and development chapter of the program. However, the two-round mayoral election called by the USR was not included in the government program because the DAHR did not agree. He added that it was agreed with the coalition partners that the government program could only contain clauses in which there would be an agreement between the three political entities that make up the coalition.

Among the ministries assigned to DAHR, the Ministry of Development, Public Works and Public Administration and the Ministry of Environment, Water and Forestry were also considered of great importance. He said about the former: the ministry will not only act as a paying agency, but will also develop a development strategy for the entire country and a plan to balance development inequalities between the country’s regions. He considered the latter to be important due to the increased focus on sustainable development and environmental protection in the use of EU funds.

Kelemen Hunor said that in addition to the positions of deputy prime minister and minister, DAHR also has 12 secretaries of state and one deputy secretary of state.
