Tomac, seeking votes for investiture

Eugen Tomac is expected to submit the list of ministers and the government program to Parliament by June 14. At the moment only PNL and USR have received the list of ministers, but not the program, say political sources.

Afterwards, the schedule for the hearing of the ministers and the day on which the vote in Parliament takes place must be established.

If Tomac does not pass the Parliament's vote, the president is prepared to appoint a new technocrat prime minister, one of the options being Radu Burnete, according to HotNews information.

Moreover, Eugen Tomac already informed the PNL and USR leaders of Nicușor Dan's decision, political sources say.
