National Liberal Party (PNL) lawmakers are endorsing judge Augustin Zegrean for chairman of the Legislative Council or, if the voting procedure is a simultaneous one, the Save Romania Union (USR) candidate, PNL floor leader in the chamber of Deputies Florin Roman said on Tuesday.
He pointed out that, depending on the procedure, PNL will have as its backup option the USR candidate for the chairmanship of the Official Legislation Records and Library Section of the Legislative Council.
"If the voting procedure is to vote simultaneously on two ballots, in the case of the position provided for the department manager [of official records and library], PNL will endorse the USR candidate, because we have to give a very clear signal that only united can we fight against the Social Democratic Party (PSD)," added Roman.
Parliament met on Tuesday in a joint plenary sitting for the appointments to the positions of chairman of the Legislative Council and the council's chairman of the Official Legislation Records and Library.
PSD MP Florin Iordache, former Chairman of the Constitutional Court Augustin Zegrean and General Secretary of the Legislative Council Ionut Duli Mazalu have filed bids for the council's chairmanship.
USR Senator George Edward Dirca, former CCR Chairman Augustin Zegrean and Andrei Ciochiu have submitted bids for the position of chairman of the Official Legislation and Documentation Records and Library Section of the Legislative Council.
