Deputy Prime Minister Tanczos Barna, recommendations for a possible technocrat government. “It depends a lot on each minister”
Tanczos Barna, Deputy Prime Minister and Acting Minister of Agriculture, stated to Digi24 that the success of a possible government made up of ministers without political affiliation depends on how each member of the cabinet negotiates their support in Parliament.
The UDMR minister said that the Union would have preferred a government variant in which the ministers had political affiliation.
“We said from the very beginning that the best and most correct option is that of a political government, this should be tried in the first phase,” said Tanczos Barna.
On the other hand, he did not rule out that a government of technocrats could achieve its goals, but that depends on each minister.
“It depends a lot on how he talks with the specialized committees in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate. A minister must have a very good connection and a constructive dialogue with the politicians who vote, including the emergency ordinances given by the Government”, estimated Tanczos.
Government decisions, negotiated in Parliament
For this reason, in the case of investiture by Parliament, the Tomac government will have to negotiate support in Parliament before formalizing its decisions.
“Otherwise they will not be supported by the committees and parties. It depends a lot on the person who holds the position of minister”, said the deputy prime minister giving the example of the parliamentary agriculture committees where there are deputies and senators who have been members for 15-20 years.
“In the case of a political government, things are relatively clear,” Tanczos Barna concluded.
Eugen Tomac, MEP and honorary advisor for the relationship with Romanians everywhere of Nicușor Dan, was appointed prime minister, Thursday evening, by President Nicușor Dan. He is close to former president Traian Băsescu and his successor at the head of the Popular Movement Party.
As prime minister-designate, Tomac must convince the parliamentary parties to give him a vote of confidence, to finalize the government program and the team of ministers.
Tomac has until June 14 to secure the support of the parliamentarians. 233 is the number of votes he needs to get for inauguration.
