| The Priorities of the New Parliamentary Session |
| (2012-09-03) |
| Last updated: 2012-09-04 14:42 EET |
Romanian MPs on Monday resumed their activity as part of Parliament’s autumn session. The priorities of the ruling majority made up of the Social Democratic Party, the Liberal Party and the Conservative Party include the endorsement of the state budget for 2013, the criminal code of procedures, the healthcare law, education and economy. The ruling coalition also wishes to make sure that the current and future government will be able to function unencumbered after the tense moments this summer, when Parliament suspended the country’s president Traian Basescu and a referendum was held on his impeachment.
The deputy leader of the Liberal Party group in the Chamber of Deputies, Eugen Nicolaescu, explains:
Eugen Nicolaescu: “We will try to update the legislation specific to the governing programme for 2013-2016 so that the new government taking office in 2013 has all the necessary legislation needed to implement its governing programme.”
In the other camp, the opposition consisting mainly of the Liberal Democratic Party is channelling all its efforts into starting talks on depoliticising a number of state institutions. The Liberal Democrats’ leader, Vasile Blaga, says, for example, that you don’t need new legislation to free the Constitutional Court of political influence, but only an agreement between parties.
This agreement would allow the Higher Council of Magistrates or the High Court of Cassation to appoint a member of the Constitutional Court whenever the term of one of its judges expires. The Liberal Democratic Party also says it has no intention of filing no-confidence motions in the current parliamentary session if the government “does its job well’ and puts and en to the political war.
Vasile Blaga: “At the moment, all we want is for PM Ponta to govern the country and, just like in the previous parliamentary session, if he comes up with good measures aimed at Romania’s economic recovery, we have nothing against him.”
As for the possibility of the Liberal Democrats to work with the Social Democrats and the Liberals in Parliament, the Liberal Democrats’ deputy president Cristian Preda says his party has already called for civilised and intelligent collaboration. “The government”, Preda went on to say “told us they don’t understand the notion of cohabitation, although the term is easy to understand. Of course, when you insist you can’t collaborate, you must also be ready to face the consequences.” The Parliament’s autumn session is shorter because of parliamentary elections slated for December 9, when Romanian voters will be electing their new representatives in the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate for the next four years.
