The chairman of the Save Romania Union (USR), Dacian Ciolos, stated on Thursday that the MPs of these political formation cannot support a minority government, as long as there is the possibility to build a majority "around a reform programme."
Asked if USR will vote in Parliament a minority government, Ciolos said: "From our point of view, there is need for a government with full powers, with majority in Parliament, able to make the important decisions in the coming period. A minority government cannot do this."
He explained that a minority government, if it passes Parliament, "means it has the votes to pass, but not to make decisions with a majority in Parliament."
"They are two different things. It's one thing to have an investiture vote and it's another to apply your governing programme. We cannot support a minority government as long as there is the possibility to build a majority around a reform programme," added Ciolos.
The USR chair confirmed that he will request the President restore the coalition between the National Liberal Party (PNL), USR, and the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR).
