Ten parliamentarians from PO and SOS Romania announced on Monday that they are a new parliamentary group at the Chamber of Deputies. Among them are the deputy Dorin Popa, who accused the leader can Anamaria Gavrilă of threatening, and Ciprian Ciubuc, excluded from the SOS after a scandal with Diana Şoșoaca.
“The undersigned, deputies in the Romanian Parliament, […] I decided to set up the independent parliamentary group within the Chamber of Deputies ”, it is shown in the constitutive act of the new parliamentary group.
According to the regulation, the group – consisting of six deputies who were in PO and four in the SOS – will be presented to the plenary of the Chamber of Deputies at the beginning of the September -December parliamentary session.
The representatives of the Parliament stated for HotNews.ro that the request for setting up the group was sent to the Commission for the Regulation, for a point of view.
Who are the 10 deputies
The group consists of Aurora Simu, Dumitrița Albu, Andrei Csillag, Călin Groza, Gheorghe Pîclişan and Dorin Popa – all chosen on the lists can go in May -, but also Mariana Vârgă, Rodica Popleanu, Laurențiu Făget and Ciprian Ciubuc, leaving SOS in June.
In May, they resigned from PE from six of the 20 deputies elected on the party lists led by Anamaria Gavrilă. In order for a party to have a group in the Chamber of Deputies, it is necessary to have at least 10 parliamentary members, and now they can still have 14. Following the wave of resignations in May, they can be left without a parliamentary group in the Senate.
