In the whole, at Digi24, which is the stage of discussions between PSD, PNL, UDMR and USR on the formation of the new government, Kelemen Hunor replied:
“So far, there has been a lot of discussed on the fiscal program, on all that means the fiscal reform and the measures to be taken immediately after the new government has been invested. We also discussed what we should do, how this coalition should work, but we could not overcome that phase who will be the proposal of the coalition for the position of prime minister, because you have to be with a proposal when the president invites you to Cotroceni to consultations. If you say that you have no proposal, it means that in fact there is no one who wants at this time to be prime minister with all responsibility, with all the assumption for what this function means today. And so far we have not been able to have a proposal to President Nicuşor Dan. That is why we are in a position not to have a nomination ”.
The president of the UDMR claims that the variant of the government rotary has been taken into account.
“There were discussions with rotary, without rotary, with technocrat, without technocrat. Who to start if it is rotary, who is the second? So at this point of view, indeed, all the political possibilities have been exhausted.“He added,
He said that following the discussions held so far “much of the governance program is ready”.
“If you look at all the other chapters, there were some shades that need to be discussed politically, but our colleagues, a week ago … Last month they gave us the variant of the government program. It remains on the fiscal measures, because there are the most serious problems and will take us in the years that follow, of course, in a rather difficult area. (…) We cannot go further with the fiscal measures, nor with the governing program until we have a candidate for the position of prime minister ”said Kelemen Hunor.
He stressed that the designated prime minister should be a politician, not a technocrat.
“Political, yes. If you put on a technocrat, the message is that the politicians did not assume, that they did not have the courage, that they fled responsibility, which is an absolute message his non-ollout in the end, because when you went to the campaign, you said that you want to govern, that is why you asked for the people's vote, you did not ask for the vote of the people to run away.”, Argurated Kelemen Hunor.
