Although there are still no officially added electoral results in Romania (votes by letter are still being counted), Prime Minister Ludovic Orban, leader of the National Liberal Party (NLP), announced his resignation yesterday, to which the leaders of the political parties Romanians have reacted in various ways.
The resignation was accepted by President Klaus Iohannis on Monday evening and Defense Minister Nicolae Ciucă was appointed interim prime minister.
The head of state also made it clear that he could conceive of a center-right government coalition and that he would invite a candidate proposed by the PNL to form a government.
The chairman of the largest opposition party, the Social Democratic PSD, described Orban’s resignation as irresponsible.
You cannot leave the post of Prime Minister like this. You cannot leave the country in chaos because you have been offended. What Orban did is unforgivable
Marcel Ciolacu said in a telephone interview with Digi24, adding that in his opinion, Orban “was thus punished by the voters for leading an incapable and corrupt government.”
The opposition leader also criticized the prime minister’s decision not to issue emergency ordinances. He added: The statements by President Orban and his alliance, President Klaus Iohannis, are contradictory and, in light of them, it is not clear whether his party, the NLP, won or lost the elections. Ciolacu also said that his party is recommending Alexandru Rafila as prime minister.
Meanwhile, the ruling party’s strongest ally, Save Romania (USR-PLUS), wants to “bring a former prime minister back into the game.” They nominate Dacian Cioloş, former prime minister of a provisional government.
This decision was made within NLP
– said Dan Barna, co-chair of USR-PLUS, about Orbán’s resignation, adding that it was important to begin negotiations to form a new reformist government. According to him, Dacian Cioloş is a credible prime ministerial candidate, has the necessary experience and practice for the position, having already held the position of chief executive of government.
Kelemen Hunor, president of DAHR, called Orban’s resignation a “sign of normalcy.”
Congratulations! Respect to Ludovic Orban for admitting the failure of NLP
He added that PNL and USR-PLUS together would not have fifty percent and would make a big mistake if they adopted minority governance. He also announced that DAHR would participate in negotiations to form a parliamentary majority if invited.
He believed that the Social Democrats would not have the necessary coalition partner to obtain a parliamentary majority, so he hoped that President Iohannis would entrust a right-wing politician with the formation of a government. Speaking to Aleph News television, the Hungarian party chairman admitted that he had a short phone conversation with President Klaus Johannis – Transindex.ro noticed.
Responding to a question, he claimed that he had not forgotten that the president had meddled in the NLP / PSD battle by making fun of the Hungarian language in April, but added that he pledged to represent the interests of the community in politics, not their emotions. .
According to Maszol.ro, the names of several people have been raised as candidates for prime minister.
Among them are Eduard Hellvig, director of the Romanian Intelligence Service (SRI), former Finance Minister Florin Cîtu and Senator Ioran Dumitrescu.
At the same time, according to the portal, it is also impossible for Nicolae Ciucă, who is currently serving as interim prime minister, to be invited to form a new government as prime minister.
They added: Klaus Iohannis will negotiate with liberal leaders on Tuesday, and is expected to later announce who he is asking to form a government.
