The president of the PNL, Ludovic Orban, proposed on Saturday, as a solution to unblock the negotiations between PNL and USR PLUS for the government, that he and Dan Barna face each other in the Chamber of Deputies, for the position of president of the institution, they told Digi24. .ro sources participating in the discussions in Vila Lac.
Orban advanced as a solution to get out of the stalemate, free competition for the leadership of the Chamber of Deputies, that is, PNL and USR PLUS to have each candidate in the voting plenum, and who enters the second round to receive the support of another, the sources cited explained.
Depending on the result of the final vote in the Chamber of Deputies, the other party that did not win must be supported by the partners, with a written commitment, in the vote for the presidency of the Senate, without open competition. That is, if the PNL won the vote in the Chamber of Deputies, then it would support the USR PLUS candidate in the Senate.
Dan Barna categorically rejected this proposal, considering that a vote in the plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies would clearly put him at a disadvantage, especially since the PSD will have a candidate for the same position, in the person of Marcel Ciolacu, and USR PLUS will not . it has the necessary number of deputies to ensure their entry into a second round of elections for the desired position.
The president of the PNL reportedly told the USR leaders that positions in Parliament should be negotiated separately from those of the Government and that if the PNL receives the position of prime minister, USR PLUS and UDMR will receive, symmetrically, a position of deputy prime minister. . it happened in other coalition governments.
The UDMR did not reject this proposal a priori, but those of USR PLUS insisted that they accept no other option than the negotiation of the 3 positions at the top of power and that if the PNL receives the position of prime minister then it must have the right to choose the position of the Chamber of Deputies.
Otherwise, if even on Sunday, when the negotiations are resumed, the liberals do not give in, they threatened not to accept Florin Cîțu’s support for the post of prime minister and will go to the Cotroceni Palace on Monday, to present him to Klaus. Iohannis own proposal for prime minister, respectively Dacian Cioloș.
