VIDEO Hugs and screams in the Senate plenary

Senators Liviu Fodoca (elected on the POT lists, meanwhile joined the Pace – First Romania group), Ionel Floroiu and Victoria Stoiciu, both from PSD, were involved in a scandal on Wednesday, during the Senate session. Floroiu pushed Fodoca at one point, while he was filming Senator Stoiciu.

Parliamentarians AUR and Pace – First Romania (a group formed in the Senate by senators elected on the lists of POT and SOS Romania, but left in the meantime from these parties) left the Senate meeting on Wednesday, because they were dissatisfied with the agenda adopted by the majority of PSD, PNL, USR and UDMR. After their departure from the plenary session, the meeting remained without a quorum.

Against the backdrop of this situation, Senator Liviu Fodoca, remaining in the plenary session, began to film all the other senators of the government, walking from one bench to another, says PSD Senator Victoria Stoiciu. By doing this, Fodoca violated the regulation, Stoiciu claims, so she went to him to tell him to stop.

At that moment, when Stoiciu and Fodoca were talking, Senator Ionel Floroiu approached the two, tried to take Fodoca's phone and grabbed him by the shoulder, according to the images sent to HotNews by Senator Ninel Peia (from Pace – First Romania). Further, Fodoca and Floroiu push each other, and other senators intervene to temper the situation.

The video moment, below:

HotNews contacted Senator Ionel Floroiu to ask him how he explains the moment, but he said that he was behind the wheel and could not speak. If he comes back with a reaction, HotNews will publish it.

The reaction of the president of the Senate after running out of quorum: “Golani”

Another moment captured by the cameras and microphones in the Senate is when, seeing that he was left without a quorum, after announcing the closing of the session for this reason, the president of the Senate, Mircea Abrudean (PNL), can be heard saying to a colleague from the presidium “What fools are these, me”.
