The Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE) MPs will ensure the session quorum for the censure motion, but will not vote, PSD chairman Liviu Dragnea announced, on Monday at the end of a meeting of the governing coalition, informs Agerpres.

He denied the existence of tensions within the coalition.

"There aren't any tensions in the governing coalition, there was even a good talk at the reunited groups. We talked about the motion, mostly. The procedure that we will follow on Wednesday was voted too. We will be present so as to ensure the quorum, but we will not vote. We are not talking about betrayal, after all it's a vote. There is another logic - let them ensure the number of votes, if they initiated the censure motion. Why should we get involved in this demarche of the opposition? Let them have votes!", said Chamber of Deputies Speaker Liviu Dragnea.
