Sibiu mayor Klaus Johannis arrived in Bucharest to discuss with the parties that proposed him for the prime-minister position, and said he will announce if he accepts the two-month mandate as premier or leave the mayor seat after the conference.
The
National-Liberal Party (PNL), the Social-Democrat Party (PSD) and the
Hungarian minority party (UDMR) agreed on a technocrat government led
by Klaus Johannis last night.
The
head of PNL, Crin Antonescu, said there is a parliamentary majority at
present and hopes that President Traian Basescu will act with
responsibility, as he has the obligation to find a solution fast.
The
new government will have to assure fair elections and to reestablish
the trust of the local and international economic environment and of
social partners, deems the president of PSD, Mircea Geoana.
On
the other hand, the vicepresident of the Democrat-Liberal Party (PDL),
Gheorghe Flutur, announced PDL continues to sustain Emil Boc for the
premier position, taking into consideration the reforms his government
started and the fact that Boc is capable of bringing them to a close.
Flutur
also mentioned the social-democrats followed a strategy when the
ministries resigned from the government, to create chaos and political
crisis. “They could have nominated an interior minister and the problem
would have been closed, but PSD wanted to get here, to create a
majority during the presidential election campaign, sacrificing a
country for Geoana's interest,” Flutur concluded.
He
also mentioned the democrat-liberals are entitled to propose Emil Boc
to lead the new Cabinet, as PDL has the largest number of
parliamentary.
