Parliamentary parties are ready for the no confidence vote in Parliament
Parliamentary parties are getting ready for the no confidence vote in Parliament on Wednesday, with intense negotiations under way, latest resignations from some parties and registrations to another ones and with both ruling and opposition party leaders mobilizing their followers on the day of the motion’s vote.
After Liberal National Party (PNL) and Save Romania Union (USR) from the opposition camp urged their supporters to take to the streets and attend the rallies on Wednesday, the day the motion is voted in Parliament, PSD-ALDE [Social Democratic Party -Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, ed.n.] coalition followers were also called to come in front of the Parliament’s building.
Asked on TV if there are chances that ruling PSD-ALDE coalition’s supporters might come in front of the Parliament on Wednesday, PSD senator Claudiu Manda has replied: „Yes, they might come”.
He added that the censure motion has no chances to pass and argued that opposition MPs might not be present to vote the motion as well. PSD chairman Liviu Dragnea announced a day ago that the Social Democrat lawmakers will attend the plenary session to provide the quorum during the no confidence vote but they will not cast their votes.
Chairman of the National Liberal Party, Ludovic Orban, has also launched a message to the Liberal followers, urging them to take to the streets to the rallies staged on the day of the censure motion, in Bucharest and countrywide as well.
„After the Government is toppled down, PNL is open to negotiations to all civilized and decent political forces, which want what is good for Romania, for shaping a beneficial solution for Romania (…) We asked the PNL sympathizers to attend all rallies to support the censure motion, both in Bucharest and in other cities as well, on the day of the no confidence vote and we asked them to join the Romanian citizens who want Romania to get back on the right track,” said Orban.
In his turn, USR chair, Dan Barna, announced that USR MPs are on white armlet strike and will have white armbands on Wednesday. Moreover, USR has called on people to take to the streets during the no confidence vote.
