Cristian Tudor Popescu commented on Digi24 about the proposal made by PNL for the post of prime minister in the person of Florin Cîțu. “He demonstrated in his post as finance minister that he is a man who knows his trade, a man of good intentions and a good conscience,” says the journalist. “It is good that Mr. Ciuca has not been confirmed as prime minister,” CTP emphasized.
Cristian Tudor Popescu: From an operational and executive point of view, I think Mr. Florin Cîțu is a good decision. Mr. Cîțu demonstrated in his position as Minister of Finance, in my opinion, that he is a man who knows his job, knows the job of a financier, a man who has good intentions and a good conscience, which is something very rare now , in our political landscape.
From this point of view, technically, let’s say, Florin Cîțu is a good decision. It now remains to be seen to what extent Mr. Cîțu will be able to be a politician, because the position of Prime Minister is somewhat different from that of Minister of Finance. It also has a political component. He will have to negotiate, play certain political games. I don’t know how good Mr. Cîțu is here, but after all I’m starting to think that maybe it’s good not to be so good at politics.
Mr Ciucă, Acting Prime Minister, it is good that you are not confirmed as Prime Minister. It is not about the person of Mr. Ciucă, about the competence of his reign, it is about the position. Mr. Ciuca represents the army, and that was not a very good sign: appointing the Minister of Defense as Prime Minister. Immediately many voices can be raised to begin with and now, after the “dictatorship” of the doctors, let’s hear about the military “dictatorship”. No? That is the first sentence that circulated – “They put Ciucă to lock us in the house, to put soldiers at our door …”.
“Mr. Ciucă is very good at the Ministry of Defense, but he could help Mr. Cîțu to clean up a bit”
It is good that this solution was not chosen. Mr. Ciuca is very good at the Ministry of Defense, but he could do something. Help Mr. Cîțu until he is confirmed as prime minister, that is, do some cleaning. He started it. He was kicked out, some of Mr. Orban’s hair has already been shaved off and could continue. For example, you could convince Ms. Anisie to go home, to inject her vast knowledge of the Romanian language into the heads of students, you could also convince Mr. Predoiu to go to law school. or I don’t know what else. That is what Mr. Ciuca could do as a soldier. Clean up Mr. Cîțu’s land, so he can take care of the government.
As for Mr. Orban, after Mr. Cîțu walked through the door saying briefly what he had to say, as a professional, he was willing to stay until the morning with the journalists, to send the signal “I’m the boss too! ! ” . Did you see how he gave very gallant and generous information from within ?, “how we each wrote the name of Cîțu on a piece of paper” and “that is what the president told us to do” …
“There will be blood on the walls of the ministerial posts”
Why are you turning these things over to the press now? To show how important he continues to be and how he’s not holding onto the chair, that’s what he told us. That he leaves the post of prime minister, not because of the mistakes he made, some of them scandalous. No, he resigns himself to show us that he is not clinging to the chair. But he did not say which chair. So now he wants to take a seat in the Chamber of Deputies. So he doesn’t want to hold on to the prime minister’s seat, but now he’s holding on to the seat of the Chamber of Deputies. Mr. Orban wants to be like Dragnea, with Cîțu like Dăncilă. He hopes to keep sending the signal that he is indeed still the gray eminence, he is the leader and that Mr. Cîțu was appointed prime minister as he was before, if you will remember him then, for a very short time, with the same message. “We are shaping Mr. Cîțu, but so am I.” I made this move to resign, because I had to give a bone to bite, “to give the impression that someone sacrificed, I am the hero,” “but from in fact I’m still the boss. “
I don’t see why USR and UDMR would oppose Mr. Cîțu as prime minister. Of course, the PSD is not going to vote for him, it is going to make a lot of noise about the debt, that it is destroying the country, etc. We know these texts from the PSD, but I don’t see the reason for USR to object. USR understands that you opposed Ciuca’s appointment and I understand it. There is this argument that I said earlier, but in the case of Mr. Cîțu, I don’t see why he would object.
There will be blood on the walls of ministerial posts, but the prime minister’s post is obviously not in question. No matter how arrogant RSU is, it cannot claim to be prime minister, at 15%. But in the ministries, I told them, blood on the walls. The problem is how long these negotiations will last in pieces.
