The Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) is submitting a motion of censure to Parliament after the Government led by Ilie Bolojan assumed responsibility for the first package of fiscal measures to reduce the deficit.
The announcement was made on Wednesday by AUR deputy Ramona Bruynseels in a press conference at the Palace of Parliament, agerpres reports.
The motion submitted is entitled "They ruined the country and now they are forcing Romanians to pay the bill - out with the hypocritical Government".
The leader of the AUR deputy group, Mihai Enache, mentioned that the motion was signed by parliamentarians from AUR, S.O.S. Romania, POT and non-affiliated parties.
According to Enache, more signatures have been collected than those required for the submission of a motion of censure, but the Opposition does not have the necessary votes for it to be adopted, which is why he urges those who want to block the Government's austerity measures to vote for this motion of censure. He specified that the text of the motion contains passages from the POT and that the president of AUR, George Simion, is the first signatory of the motion.
AUR deputy Ramona Bruynseels considers that the motion is one "against a government whose fiscal-budgetary measures will lead Romania to disaster".
"This way of governing is described very simply by sinecures, which have always been preferred, by connections, relationships, which have always taken precedence, by party and group interests, which have been a priority. But no one really thought about the country and the people. Everything for themselves and almost nothing for the country. (...) We got here because none of those who governed us really cared about laying a strong, viable, sustainable foundation for the Romanian economy. They were not interested in production, they were not interested in really building something for the future. And now, those who brought us here are setting themselves up as saviors," said AUR deputy Ramona Bruynseels.
She highlighted that "the ones who pay are the ordinary people, the vulnerable ones."
"That is precisely why we cannot agree with such measures. That is precisely why we cannot join hands with them and we are against this package and against this Government. And it is obvious that this Government must go. That is precisely why we are submitting this motion of censure," added Ramona Bruynseels.
AUR senator Mircia Chelaru believes that the motion of censure "is a cry of despair from a part of the political class aware of the ongoing disaster into which Romanian society has been brought" and "a form of political protest."
"The biggest break between the state and society has occurred. (...) What we offer is the solution to get out of this situation. Not just their departure, I would say even more, the elimination of those who brought us to a position of social insolvency and especially to moral decrepitude; (...) the elimination of their influences from the political spectrum, from social life. We have nothing to negotiate with those who brought the country to this state. (...) We are not asking for their votes for the good of the Romanian people. Either they give it, or they leave", said Mircia Chelaru.
