This vote would not have been granted under normal conditions by the PNL, considering the composition of this government. "This vote would not have been granted under normal conditions by the PNL, considering the composition of this government. However, Romania, after a prolonged period of political crisis, needs a functional government to avoid the collapse of some basic services and public institutions, so that our country can function. An interim government does not have the capacity to issue ordinances, and the amounts initially allocated by the ministries for a few basic services have been exhausted. Budget adjustments have been made within the ministries, but without a budget adjustment made by a fully empowered government, these services risk being unable to function. Under these circumstances, we decided to grant this vote of responsibility. As a result of the decision to go into opposition, officials supported by the PNL will submit their resignations in the first days of the following week and will no longer hold their positions," said Ilie Bolojan at a press conference. #PNL #GuvernNiculescu #moțiunedecenzură (translated)

"Real responsibility is not a formula for speech, but the measure of the things you do when you are put in a position to pay a price. And for the National Liberal Party, a vote for the investiture of the Niculescu Government, that is, for the return of the PSD to power with names from whom you have no expectations, could cost us not only politically but also personally. The most comfortable option would be for the PNL to refuse and be radical. However, without a functional government, the country risk remains high, and we cannot do this to Romania just to avoid the personal cost of image."
