The simple motion against the Minister of Economy, voted today in the Senate. Radu Miruță, accused of transforming the institution into a “USR labor placement agency”

The plenary of the Senate will also debate the vote, on Monday, the simple motion in which the Minister of Economy, Digitalization, Entrepreneurship and Tourism, Radu Miruță, is criticized for “lack of vision, managerial incompetence, excessive politicization and inability to defend the economic and strategic interests of Romania,” writes Agerpres.

The simple motions initiated by the parliamentarians do not lead to the dismissal of a minister, even if they are voted by most senators. Only the censorship motions, deposited against the whole government, can lead to the Executive's fall. For a simple motion to be adopted in the Senate, a simple majority of those present is needed – that is, at least 61 votes “for”, if all senators will be present.

The leader of the Senatorial Group of Gold, Petrișor Peiu, submitted, on Wednesday, in the plenary, the simple motion entitled “Minister Radu-Dinel Miruță, the living proof that USR and PSD-PNL are the same misery. Gold, 8 from the Peace Group – first Romania and 3 non -affiliates).

“In a moment of profound economic crisis, in which unprecedented austerity measures are taken and increases in taxes and taxes that strongly affect the private economy, the Ministry of Economy, Digitization, Entrepreneurship and Tourism is led by a political character who imagines more influencer social media than the effective minister, when he has to act, when he has to act, The destruction of small and medium-sized companies in Romania. Institutional ”, say the initiators of the motion.

Gold believes that the Ministry of Economy, which “should generate a strategy to help companies with Romanian capital, is inert, and instead of concrete solutions, the ministry leadership delivers minor conflicts and statements for the press, not public policies.”

The initiators of the motion point out that, “although at European level, there is discussed the relaunch of the defense industry, on this level, Romania works with the hand brake.”

“The offset legislation does not work, and the companies with tradition are politicized and ineffective, given that the qualified human resource is degraded and continuously diminished. The Romanian tourism is left by Izbeliște and is prepared by a deadly blow: the increase of the VAT rate to 21% starting with the 1 January 2026, according to the prime minister. On the spot, and the strategy of implementing artificial intelligence is totally blocked ”, shows the signators of the motion.

According to the document, “the country's mineral resources are ignored, although their efficient exploitation could bring significant budgetary gains.”

Minister Radu Miruță announced, after the deposit of the Gold motion, that he will be presented “with his forehead” at the Senate debate.

“Some mimic patriotism. Others practice it. I will present myself in front of the Parliament with my forehead, because in 100 days I did everything for me to go at least a step forward. I sleep peacefully with what I have achieved and look at this opportunity as a chance to say again, as a public, as I have to say,” Miruță.

Gold has so far deposited simple motions against two ministers from the Bolojan Government: against the Minister of Education, Daniel David and against the Minister of the Environment, Diana Buzoianu. Both failed.

At the beginning of September, the four censure motions submitted by the opposition against the Government also failed, after assuming the responsibility on the second package of fiscal measures.
