Acting President Ilie Bolojan declared on Friday that prime ministers are appointed by a parliamentary majority, stating that whatever has been circulated lately on this subject is mere speculation, informs Agerpres.
"As far as this host of proposals is concerned, please remember that last year too various names were tossed around for prime minister, (...) but I think we are rational people. Prime ministers emerge from a parliamentary majority. We have a parliamentary majority and I think that everything you will hear in this period will be just speculation by one candidate or another for gain in the presidential race. I think we need to treat these aspects with caution, fully aware of the parliamentary mechanisms in place and the configuration of Parliament, but I think that whatever the decision-making position, the better and more qualified the office-holder is, the greater the capacity to govern is, and that is what we must look at, not necessarily at a certain person, but rather seek to have as many as possible competent, qualified people, strong teams, because changes and good governance and projects are always team results," Bolojan said when asked if he would accept to serve as prime minister in a new government.
He was also questioned about his statement that the Save Romania Union's joining the government would be a positive thing, because it would strengthen the coalition.
"I said that it takes stable majorities for making reforms, for governing well. This goes for both the entire country and a local authority, a county or municipal council, and I believe in this because you can see for yourselves what it means to have the guarantee that a bill, a draft ordinance passes without substantial amendments that distort its purpose. That was the logic of this answer," Bolojan explained.
