National chairman of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) Marcel Ciolacu said on Monday that the government will not be able to avoid a vote on a motion of censure from PSD, be it the current motion or another one to be tabled in ordinary session.
He added that from a political point of view, a ruling of the Constitutional Court of Romania (CCR) is expected on the current motion, for which a first deadline is set for September 15, which will make tabling a new motion in the regular session a preferred option.
Ciolacu added that the five PSD lawmakers who were not present on Monday at the meeting where the motion was to be voted on will be excluded from the party.
"My decision is clear. Tomorrow we will convene a national political committee meeting and I will propose the exclusion of all five. I do not believe in diseases happening between the morning and the day of the vote," said the PSD leader.
