Petrișor Peiu assures PNL and USR that AUR will vote for any motion against the Niculescu Government

The leader of the AUR senators, Petrișor Peiu, announced on Tuesday, November 10, in the plenary session of Parliament, that his party will support any motion of no confidence initiated against the Government led by Luca Niculescu. The statement comes in response to accusations by the PNL and USR regarding the existence of a political understanding between the PSD and AUR.

Peiu rejected the accusations and told the liberals and USR representatives that AUR would vote alongside them “without any problem” on the first motion of no confidence they submit. The AUR leader recalled that his party had already collaborated with the PSD to dismiss the Bolojan cabinet and suggested that the same strategy could also be applied in relations with the center-right parties.

At this time, however, a motion against the Niculescu Government is difficult for the PNL to initiate. The political agreement signed on October 18 stipulates that the liberals may not initiate or vote on a motion of no confidence until March 1, 2027, except if the Government violates the principles and commitments undertaken or the rules of good governance.

The PNL leader, Ilie Bolojan, specified that this clause does not eliminate the right of liberal parliamentarians to withdraw from the agreement and initiate dismissal procedures before the deadline if the Government departs from the agreed conditions. The political dispute intensified after Sorin Lazăr, a former PSD deputy, was approved by the parliamentary committees for the position of interim president of the Court of Accounts.
