The USR-PLUS Alliance has shown its willingness to govern and is waiting for a phone call from the prime minister-designate, the alliance's spokesman, Ionut Mosteanu, said on Thursday.
He said that early elections are still in the cards, although neither the Social Democratic Party (PSD), nor the National Liberal Party (PNL) says so.
He explained that "snap elections would reconfigure Parliament and create a new majority to support a reformist government that Romania needs," adding that, "on the other hand, snap elections come with some uncertainty that can last several months, which doesn't help economically at all."
"The USR PLUS Alliance is ready to enter the election race anytime (...). We are heading for the early elections, if it can be held, if not, we want to support a government to make sure that something happens. As I was saying, I have seen a government that has hobbled little over the last four months," said Mosteanu.
Asked if USR PLUS will ask the prime minister-designate to be part of his team for a vote of confidence, Mosteanu said: "We will talk with the prime minister-designate. We do not necessarily make that conditional, but we have shown our availability. We can improve governing (...), we want to make sure that the next day after the government in voted in office it will issue an ordinance for two-round mayoral elections. If they share this vision of ours, we are ready to join the government." AGERPRES
