The leader of the PSD deputies, Alfred Simonis, declared this Monday that it does not seem appropriate that the motion of censure presented in the extraordinary session be debated in another session.
Asked what will happen to the motion of no confidence that could not be debated and voted on Monday, Simonis said: “This motion was presented in an extraordinary session, which ends today. As far as I know, there is an attack on the Constitutional Court.” precisely for this reason, namely, the presentation of a motion in extraordinary session and, possibly, debate in ordinary session. The ordinary session will begin tomorrow, so I do not consider it appropriate that this motion presented in an extraordinary session be debated in another session. “
Simonis mentioned that the PSD relied on the votes of the UDMR to approve the motion of no confidence, but the parliamentarians of this party were absent from the vote, reports Agerpres.
“The 250 votes (which Marcel Ciolacu said he will collect for the PSD in the vote of the no-confidence motion – no) did not belong to the PSD. Obviously, we have the support of the UDMR, we hoped that the UDMR would not support this Government of Orban, given the treatment to which both the UDMR and the Hungarian community in Romania were subjected by the President of Romania and the Government of Orban and probably at that time, when the President of the PSD declared these things, was also based on the votes Today, the UDMR was absent from the vote, ”said the leader of the Social Democratic deputies.
PSD president Marcel Ciolacu announced after the end of the meeting that PSD will make a “political decision” in the next few days on this issue and will come with clarifications. “At the moment, PSD does not have 233 votes,” Ciolacu said.
Orban: If the motion of censure is put to a vote in ordinary session, we will notify the Constitutional Court
Prime Minister Ludovic Orban said that if the vote of no confidence is put to the vote during the regular session, it will be notified to the Constitutional Court, adding that the PSD should initiate a new action against the government if it so wishes.
“I can’t believe they can do such a thing. But if they do, obviously we will notice, because we cannot accept this mockery of a fundamental democratic instrument in a society, which is the movement of You cannot play with motions of no confidence, you can present a vote of no confidence when you want, without rules. If they want to be in a constitutional framework, it is a new session, they can present a vote of no confidence. That is all, “Orban said in the Palace of Parliament.
At the same time, he reiterated that the motion of censure that was going to be voted on in Monday’s session is one “outside the constitutional framework”, because it was presented during the parliamentary holidays.
In addition, it is a motion of censure that is not alone in extraordinary session. It was presented in an extraordinary session, it was read in another extraordinary session, and an attempt was made to debate and vote in the extraordinary session extended until August 31. and, from my point of view, it is consumed right now. Of course, the Constitutional Court will fail. The government has notified the RCC and we are awaiting the failure of our notification, ”said the PNL leader.
Asked about how he comments on the statements about the existence of a counterattack between PSD and PNL, Orban said that the Social Democrats did everything possible to ensure that their parliamentarians were present for the vote.
“You know what it is: a madman throws a stone and a hundred wise, you are wise, I trust that you are wise, if one screams that it is a countertop, what countertop? mobilize the people, they did everything possible to get people to vote, they failed, that is, because their motion is absurd, it has no logic, it is a motion outside the constitutional framework and it turned out … I had discussions with almost any parliamentarian who wanted talk to me, many of my colleagues had discussions, individual discussions with many parliamentarians. I am convinced that many of those who were present did not agree with this approach either. “But they probably don’t have the courage to come forward, so they don’t have a quorum “, said.
The meeting of Parliament to debate the motion of censure could not be held due to lack of quorum
The session of Parliament in which the motion of censure was debated and voted on could not take place, on Monday, due to lack of a quorum, as announced by the president of the Chamber of Deputies, the Social Democrat Marcel Ciolacu.
