Social Democrat Party (PSD) MPs will be present in the chamber for the debate and voting of the censure motion, but they will not vote, said Prime Minister Viorica Dancila, leader of the Social Democrats.
Asked what the atmosphere in the PSD is at this moment, the Prime Minister answered: "It's not tense. An hour ago I met with my deputies and senator colleagues, we are relaxed, we took into account all scenarios, even though everyone has the conviction that the motion will not pass tomorrow."
"It's an atmosphere that I cannot call relaxed, we are before a censure motion, which, of course, implies the ousting of a PSD Government. I can say that they are very involved and that all colleagues are hoping, they have the conviction that the motion will not pass. They've spoken to their colleagues in other political parties, each had a dialogue, a dialogue as colleagues and that strengthens their conviction that the motion will not pass," Dancila completed.
The censure motion against the Dancila Government will be debated upon and voted on Thursday in Parliament. The motion, titled "To rebuild Romania, the Dancila Government must be demoted urgently!" has 237 signatures from MPs from the National Liberal Party (PNL), Save Romania Union (USR), the People's Movement Party (PMP), PRO Romania, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE), the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR), national minorities, but also two from the PSD, according to the leader of the Liberals, Ludovic Orban.
In order for the censure motion to be adopted by Parliament 233 votes are necessary. The vote itself is secret and will use colored balls and urns.
