According to sources cited by Digi24, the necessary signatures for submitting the motion have already been collected. For its adoption, a minimum of 233 votes from the total of 463 parliamentarians is needed.
The PSD currently has 129 deputies and senators, and the AUR has 90, which means that together they reach 219 votes, 14 less than the required threshold. The executive is supported in Parliament by PNL, USR and UDMR.
PSD and AUR submit a joint motion against the Bolojan Government
The announcement regarding the submission of the motion was made on Monday, April 27, when PSD and AUR representatives specified that it was a “strictly technical” step, necessary to meet the number of signatures required by the procedure.
The leader of the AUR senators, Petrișor Peiu, emphasized that the initiative does not represent a political pact, but a specific collaboration: “We decided to have a joint motion. We are making a joint effort to draft a motion of censure to be submitted to the Parliament. This will be debated at the beginning of May, with a view to the dismissal of the Bolojan Government. There is no pact with the PSD, it is a collaboration so as not to make two motions and have them both fail.”
For his part, the PSD representative, Marian Neacșu, appealed to the parliamentarians to support the initiative.
Asked about the possibility of forming a PSD-AUR government, Neacșu stated that political decisions will be taken later, by the party's internal forums. At the same time, Peiu declared that there were no concrete discussions regarding a possible majority, the main objective being the triggering of early elections.
