The Alliance for Romanians’ Union begins a parliamentary strike
The Alliance Romanians’ Union goes on a parliamentary strike. The leaders of the party claim that the vote of non-confidence initiated by USR PLUS and ARU against the Cîţu Government was not submitted to debate and vote. The motion was registered on September 3 and read on September 9 in the plenary session. ARU co-chariman Claudiu Târziu said that the approach did not continue because there is a new majority in parliament- PNL-PSD-UDMR – which does not want this, and stated the motive that a response is expected from the Court Constitutional is false. In reply, the group leader of the Social Democrats, Senator Lucian Romaşcanu, explained that the Social Democrats are not in any position in this conflict. The group vice-president of USR PLUS, senator Ion Narcis Mircescu, claimed that the fundamental law is violated./opopescu
