Vasile Dîncu excludes the option of supporting a PNL-USR minority government: “I would like more realism, because otherwise we will not get out of this hole”
PSD vice-president and MEP Vasile Dîncu said, on Thursday, on Digi24, that the formation of a minority government from PNL and USR received in Parliament “the evaluation of 281 votes against”. At the same time, the social democratic leader claimed that the PSD will not have “any kind of political contract” with the AUR, but that the restoration of the pro-Western coalition remains a possible scenario.
“It is an option that has already received the exact assessment of 281 votes against in Parliament. So this option ultimately fell in Parliament, not another option, so it is excluded. If they receive it again, upon the investment of such a government, it will receive 300 votes against, because that is the dynamic. I would like more realism, because otherwise we will not get out of this hole”, said Vasile Dîncu.
Regarding a PSD-AUR government, Dîncu emphasizes that the social democrats must not have “any kind of political contract” with the party led by George-Simion.
“AUR has the vocation of a party against the system. They cancel themselves if they vote for a government that they have criticized all the time. Obviously, they criticized us as part of the government, and we don't have to. We don't have any kind of political contract with AUR, but we still rely on the fact that they can be predictable in the end in their behavior. If not, for the PSD, as the president also said, the opposition does not mean being a disaster. It's simply a normal way for parties to reform themselves, in which they rebuild their ideologies, programs, so there's also this possibility,” said the MEP.
Vasile Dîncu says that the rebuilding of the pro-Western coalition is a scenario that remains standing. “If the PNL moves into the opposition, it wouldn't be a disaster, they have 12% support in the Parliament. It can be supplemented very simply with other parties. In the end we are going with the idea of restoring this coalition, if no other solutions are found. There is also the solution of a possible technocratic government with a technocratic prime minister, for example, to which others from the coalition parties or from elsewhere can align themselves based on the program. I don't think that the AUR is interested. It would be a disaster for them,” the PSD leader added.
He also says that there can be a minority government. “If you make a project that is accepted by others and, the idea of a crisis, there can be a minority government that will pass. I don't think it's an impossibility”, says Vasile Dîncu. “We expect the PNL to keep their word, to go into the opposition, after 7 years in which they were in power, in which they had so many premiers and yet only one who came from the PSD was to blame for this situation. They always had the minister of finance, they had the minister of European funds and now they complain about the fact that we don't have the benchmarks done. So it would be good to stay in the opposition for a bit”, declared Dîncu.
