“At 18:00 a government without popular support will be announced. It's just the continuation of the blow given to democracy… AUR will not support such a thing and remains with the Romanian people”, the band's leader, George Simion, said.
He stated that the AUR MPs will not enter the voting hall.
“AUR parliamentarians do not enter the voting hall (secret/non-secret) for the election of a prime minister who did not receive even 1% support from the Romanians. We have nothing to discuss when the mockery of the Romanians continues, started with the cancellation of the elections. Those who have the support of the Romanians must come to the head of the country”. he also said.
Today, from 18:00, President Nicușor Dan is to hold a press statement at the Cotroceni Palace, during which he is expected to announce the name of the future prime minister.
According to political sources, Eugen Tomac is considered the favorite for the appointment following recent consultations.
Petrișor Peiu, the leader of the AUR senators, said on Tuesday, June 2, that the formation will not support in the Parliament any government in which it is not represented and which is not led by a prime minister appointed by the party. He also rejected the option of an independent prime minister, considering the speculations regarding the future nomination for the head of the Executive.
