Kelemen Hunor lets it be understood that the UDMR will not vote for the Tomac government: “So, logically, don't kiss! It would be political masochism”
The President of the UDMR, Kelemen Hunpr, declared, on Tuesday evening, that it would be “political masochism” to vote for a technical government, of which the formation he leads is not a part, after the government of which the UDMR was a part was overthrown, writes News.ro.
“So, logically, don't kiss! It would be political masochism to vote for a government I'm not a part of, after the government I was a part of was overthrown, and to vote for the government with those who overthrew the government,” Kelemen Hunor said on TVR Info on Tuesday evening.
The leader of the UDMR added that “it does not bind”.
“It's impossible to explain why you're doing this, why you're voting for a government you're not a part of, after the censure motion episode,” explained Kelemen Hunor.
Previously, Kelemen Hunor raised several issues of a political nature regarding the eventual support that the formation he leads would give to the Government proposed by Eugen Tomac.
Kelemen stated that the Hungarian formation does not have “sufficient arguments” to support a government of which it is not a part, also bringing into question the fact that the government proposed as a technocrat would be led by a politician.
“If you come with a technocrat government, it means that you do not trust political parties, any political party, political people”, argued the Hungarian leader.
He also declared, at the end of the discussions he had with the designated prime minister, Eugen Tomac, that he will not vote against the government, but he does not promise that the Hungarian party will support the cabinet proposed by him.
“At this moment, I can promise only one thing: that we will not vote against a government, but we cannot promise today that we will vote for a government,” said Kelemen.
He added that he will discuss with Tomac again after he presents the governing program, the UDMR leader noting that Eugen Tomac is not “extremely ambitious in terms of the governing program” and does not want “extravagant or new things”.
In addition, the president of the UDMR is of the opinion that the parliamentarians who will vote for the Government proposed by the designated prime minister, Eugen Tomac, should also assume, in writing, their support for the projects promoted by him when he will exercise executive power, drawing attention to the fact that a vote given for the government followed by the withdrawal to the opposition is not a solution.
“You voted, you turned your back, you joined the opposition and the next day, Mr. Tomac walks around the Parliament with a candle and looks for the votes for each project. It doesn't work”, argues Kelemen, also arguing that “we shouldn't exaggerate and say that: sir, the Earth stops spinning if we don't have a voted government on June 10 or June 15”.
