Radu Miruță commented on the statements of Traian Basescu, who had said that “What happens to the government is comic“, Stating that”It is partially true”.
“On the one hand, being parties in the coalition, there must also be the representation of the political will of the respective party. On the other hand, on the premiers and ministers you measure them according to what they do ”Miruță explained at Digi24.
The minister added that the prime minister should be allowed to exercise his mandate without being permanently forced by the decisions imposed by the parties: “If you kick me out as a prime minister because I don't do something or I don't go to a point where the population is waiting for it, let me take things there, because you can't hold me accountable for some decisions that are facing other entities. Of course, they also answer the parties in the coalition, but it goes hard ”.
“It goes slower than the population is waiting for”
Asked how speed the current coalition works, Miruță acknowledged that “It goes at a lower speed than the population awaits”.
“The explanation is given by the fact that there are four parties that have to reach a consensus and the more there are at the table that put conditions, the more the time in a condition is accepted by all four.”said the minister.
He stressed that the prime minister has a “additional power“And that this power”It must be left with all the constitutional prerogatives ”. However, he acknowledged that decisions are made “after Very wide discussions ” Between the members of the coalition, discussions that they consider justified “From the perspective of respecting the public policy of each party ”.
“The more conditions you put, the harder you make the decision.”
Radu Miruță pointed out that, often, the coalition is blocked due to the conditions imposed by each party. “The more conditions you put, the harder you make the decision“, Said the minister.
He added that the ruling parties should understand that “The world is waiting for immediate measures”: “If you do well, you will receive applause and you will be appreciated and politically.”.
“It hurts some that they lose hot places”
The minister also commented on Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's proposals, who said they had no solid counterarguments: “From the ones that Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan proposed, so far I have not seen counterarguments, I have seen pain, that it hurts to lose some hot places, that it hurts some that they lose some suspicious contracts, but I have not seen rational counterarguments ”.
He continued with a criticism of those who take advantage of public money: “If until now you have been taught to connect to some pipes that were running out with public money, obviously if someone is off, scream. But is it healthy for the private environment to pay to introduce these pipes to pass only a few? I think it is not healthy ”.
The minister supports “totally” the approach of Ilie Bolojan
Finally, Radu Miruță stated that he supports “entirely ” Prime Minister's initiatives:
“To change a result is mandatory, in my mind as a software engineer, to change the method by which you want to get there. You cannot follow the same method.”.
The Minister of Economy concluded that the real change requires courage, assumption and freedom of the prime minister to act without blockages imposed by the parties.
