It was not a meeting, but we have a mayor. Craiova has been elected mayor since Friday, November 13. Lia Olguţa Vasilescu was sworn in after taking the oath in the council chamber, before the deputy judge, and thus became the new mayor of Băniei.
Somewhat surprising movement, because the investiture was to take place in an extraordinary meeting called for last Friday by the mayor, still in office, Mihail Genoiu. Meeting that was not held due to lack of quorum. This is after the municipal councilors of PNL and USR-PLUS, who hold the majority in the Local Council, did not appear because they considered the meeting illegal.
On Friday, only nine councilors of the 21 who took the oath on October 30, when the new City Council was constituted, were present in the room: seven from PSD and two from PER. For a complete local council, six councilors, alternates in lists (three from PSD, one from PER and two from PNL) had to take the oath.
What reason did Secretary Nicoleta Miulescu invoke for not holding today’s meeting?
None of this happened. There was no meeting, therefore the City Council was not completed, the specialized commissions were not organized, the deputy mayors were not voted. Instead, the mayor-elect took office. Just before the meeting, the secretary of the Craiova City Council, Nicoleta Miulescu, informed the media that Olguța Vasilescu had taken the oath in the council room and that he was the new mayor of the municipality. On this occasion he gave her the tricolor scarf (photos of them).
At the same time, Nicoleta Miulescu specified that the meeting legally called by a third of the councilors already invested in the position will not be held for Monday, November 16. The reason: you didn’t follow all the required steps. Miulescu referred to the form of communication of the call and the fact that the drafts of the decisions approved in the agenda were not prepared.
It was not a meeting, but we have a mayor. What Olguța Vasilescu said
Olguța Vasilescu also referred to this, in her first statement as Mayor of Craiova. “As of today (Friday, November 13 – no.) I am the incumbent mayor of Craiova. So all this farce that we have meetings, we don’t come to meetings, we call meetings and all these things that have happened lately with the obvious purpose of preventing me from taking the oath and assuming the prerogatives of mayor must end.
After this meeting, which could not be held due to lack of a quorum, I will invite the leaders of the two parties that were absent today to agree on the date of the next meeting. Because, unfortunately for them, the convocation of the advisory groups of the NLP and the USR is illegal. They respected, indeed, the days to call an extraordinary meeting, but forgot to point out that there must be another day for communication, for the mayor’s secretary, ”said Olguţa Vasilescu.
The new mayor also specified that the next meeting of CL Craiova could take place on Tuesday, if it will be an immediate one, or on Friday, if it is extraordinary. “Until I have a discussion with the leaders of the two parties in the City Council, I will not make a decision (…) As they started, I see that they do not want a collaboration for the next four years. They started it badly, they started it with the left, making all kinds of calculations about the exercise of my mandate as mayor, which today they have been denied, because I took the oath. From this moment on, they will speak to me as mayor of Craiova, ”Olguţa Vasilescu also stated.
It was not a meeting, but we have a mayor. What the leaders of the PNL-USR-PLUS alliance invoked
As anticipated, the local councilors PNL and USR-PLUS did not participate in the meeting called for last Friday by the mayor’s office. However, they organized a press conference in which they explained the reasons for not showing up. The conference was attended by all municipal councilors and local leaders from PNL, USR and PLUS.
“We are told, referring to an article of the Administrative Code, that an initiative of a councilor must be based on a statement of reasons and debated in specialized commissions, as if the election of the president and the vote of the deputy mayors required a debate in the specialized commissions that, moreover, were not even constituted. Whoever wrote this article confuses food with itching and cannot be considered by us. It is time for the mayor to understand that they are part of the executive, not of the deliberative, that they cannot put no one to work, but to do the job, “said Mario Ovidiu Oprea, president of PNL Craiova.
Cezar Drăgoescu: “We will never hand over PSD abuses”
He referred to the fact that the mayor called the meeting invoking article 134, paragraph 4 of the Administrative Code, which refers to the case of force majeure and / or maximum urgency to resolve the interests of the inhabitants of the commune, which was not required. In addition, the expression “immediately extraordinary encounter” was used, totally different things. “Unfortunately, we witnessed a series of tricks run by the previous administration, incomprehensible for a city like Craiova. A legally called meeting does not have to be a table tennis between political parties, ”said Gabriel Păunică, president of PLUS Dolj.
“We are ready to work, to serve the interests of the citizens of Craiova. We represent the majority on the right in the Local Council and we will never support the abuses of the PSD. We want to start well, so we call the meeting for Monday. What is happening is not related to the interests of the people of Craiova, but to a set of images by the PSD ”, said Cezar Drăgoescu, the USR-PLUS proposal for the post of Deputy Mayor of Craiova.
It was not a meeting, but we have a mayor. Marian Vasile: “It is clear that they do not respect the vote of the people of Craiova”
Local councilor Marian Vasile, proposed by the PNL for the post of deputy mayor, also accused the way in which the extraordinary meeting was called for Friday, November 13.
“It is clear that they do not respect the vote of the people of Craiova. They told us that our meeting had been called prematurely. However, they called an extraordinary meeting immediately, they are two totally different types of meetings. He considers the meeting called by us premature because the mandates of the deputies validated by the Court of Craiova had not yet arrived. However, they called the meeting after we called it, knowing that we have a colleague in isolation who was only able to come to work on Monday. Consequently, the problems of the city, the organization of the specialized commissions, the vote of the deputy mayors could not be resolved today (Friday, November 13 – no.). The only thing that could be resolved was the taking of the oath by the mayor, who did not have patience one day, until Monday, because on Saturday and Sunday the mayor’s office does not work, “he declared. Marian Vasile (VIDEO below).
CL Craiova’s right-wing councilors concluded that the meeting called by the mayor for Friday, November 13, is not legal and stated that they will participate in the meeting they called for Monday, November 16. It remains to be seen if this meeting will take place today. Another day is announced with hot spirits.
