The negotiations for the formation of the government between PNL, USR-PLUS and UDMR are “a pact around the table on some positions,” according to Cristian Tudor Popescu. In a telephone interview with Digi24, the journalist assures that the attitude of President Klaus Iohannis during these consultations is contradictory to what he had before the elections, and that “it is the president’s job to put an end to this shameful fair of so-called negotiations.”

“The president is now sitting like an Olympian, above the parties -” I don’t get involved, I don’t interfere. Negotiate matches. It is not the job of the president to interfere. “But in the electoral campaign it was the job of the president to come out like a cuckoo every two days and say”heavy, heavy, heavy»Had the headache taken over me personally? At that time, was it not the president’s position on the parties, not to interfere in what they do, for example, electoral campaign? How do these two attitudes logically work?

He also says that it is difficult, the negotiations are difficult because the governance programs are different and it is important for the country, it is difficult to reach a common governance solution. Which is not true. The parties said in the negotiations that they agreed very quickly on the points of the government program. They quickly came to a common solution. What is being negotiated at the moment is the position of Mr. Orban, the position of Mr. Barna and whose office appeared there.

Finally, the president tells us that he will appoint Mr. Orban if the coalition parties agree with him as a candidate. This, for me, is a premiere in terms of Mr. Iohannis, I’m talking about his behavior as a person. Human. It’s a premiere, it’s like taking your coat off your hood and hugging it to your chest. You remember the episode with the coat pulled over the hood. Mr. Orban announces to him, according to the President’s statement, that he is resigning, after which he resigns, he is not fired. In any civilized country where dignitaries have dignity, there is no return to resignation as if nothing had happened in a few days. And so this institution of resignation, in Romania, was circumvented in 30 years in every way, starting with Nicolae Ceausescu, then in December 1989, who threatened to resign from the members of the executive political committee.

In these circumstances, Mr. Orban contributes decisively to the discredit, to the contempt of this institution of resignation. And the president has no pressure and told us that he would name anyone to decide the coalition, “said journalist Cristian Tudor Popescu.

On the examples given by the president about the long negotiation periods for the formation of the government in other countries, Cristian Tudor Popescu says:

“How can the president give us such examples?” It’s stupid! In pandemic conditions to speak of 8 months, 2 and a half years, why did you open your mouth about such a thing? To tell us at the end that he will not leave the country without a government. It is the president’s job to end this shameful fair of so-called negotiations as soon as possible. In fact, it’s a bargain in the corner of the table, a counter of these characters, not even parties, in some functions.

What seems more serious to me is that this is done with the votes of those who elected, especially the PNL, in these elections. NLP voters are now seeing what Mr. Orban is doing, for example, what Mr. Iohannis is doing, of course USR, Barna, etc. they are also involved. But, in my opinion, the main blocking element in these negotiations is Mr. Ludovic Orban ”, added the journalist.

“It does not matter, in my opinion, (if a consensus is reached on the appointment of Orban – ed.) I judge exclusively on the basis of dignity – a dignitary must have dignity, convey to voters, to convey to citizens that He is a dignified man, it is the last thing that Mr. Orban transmits, now, to the voters and the citizens ”, concluded Cristian Tudor Popescu.
