Kelemen Hunor says Luca Niculescu’s Government will pass the parliamentary vote, despite the absence of some dissatisfied Liberal lawmakers

UDMR President Kelemen Hunor stated that he has no concerns regarding the vote in Parliament on the investiture of the Government led by Luca Niculescu, which he says will receive the necessary support. The statement was made during an intervention on Antena 3, without the UDMR leader indicating any possible problem for the current parliamentary majority.

“I have no concerns, it will pass,” said Kelemen Hunor when asked whether the Luca Niculescu Government would be approved by the legislature.

The UDMR leader also commented on the situation of liberals dissatisfied with the formation of the Government. According to him, several liberal lawmakers are expected not to participate in the vote in order to avoid voting against it. Kelemen Hunor specified, however, that the absences would not change the final outcome of the vote.

“There are a few, I understand, who will not come to the vote so they do not vote against it, but it does not change the final score in any way,” said Kelemen Hunor.

The vote in Parliament represents the decisive stage in the investiture of the new Cabinet. To take office, the Government must receive the vote of confidence of a majority of lawmakers, following the presentation of the government program and the list of ministers. The UDMR president’s statement indicates that his party estimates that there are enough votes to approve the Executive.
