Bolojan: Romania urgently needs a fully empowered government; PNL is ready to contribute to a solution

Imagine din galeria Agerpres

Romania urgently needs a fully empowered government, National Liberal Party (PNL) Chairman and acting Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said on Tuesday.

He sent a message after Parliament's rejection of the Vestea Government, arguing that anything built without principles, seriousness and honesty cannot endure.

'Romania urgently needs a fully empowered government. A government built on transparency, clear rules and respect for democratic principles. Backroom dealings and betrayals have shown their limits. What is built without principles, seriousness and honesty cannot endure,' he wrote on Facebook.

According to Bolojan, the National Liberal Party maintains its proposal for the appointment of a minority government based on a national pact that would establish Romania's priorities for the next six months.

'PNL is ready to contribute to a solution. But it must be a fair, accountable, transparent solution built in Romania's genuine interest,' Bolojan said.

The Adrian Vestea Government was rejected by Parliament on Monday, with 189 votes in favour and 23 votes against. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Georgiana Tanasescu; EN - writing by: Adina Panaitescu)
