The designated PM starts consultations today for a new government

The designated PM Lucian Croitoru starts on Monday the consultations with the parliamentary parties for a new executive, after the Boc Cabinet failed in the Parliament on October 13, after a censorship motion.

The schedule announced by Lucian Croitoru is as follows:

Monday:

– 2 p.m., consultations with PDL

– 4 p.m., consultations with PNL

– 6 p.m., consultations with national minorities.

Tuesday:

– 2 p.m., consultations with UDMR.

PSD leader Mircea Geoana announced on Sunday that the four parties – PSD, PNL, UDMR and the national minorities – do not support Croitoru. They will propose the named PM to hold a common meeting on Tuesday, at the Parliament’s Palace, „out of politeness”.

„It is much clearer that he is being used as a rabbit by Mr. Basescu and that he does not stand any chance to find Romania’s Parliament support”, Geoana opinionated on Croitoru.

PNL, PSD, UDMR and the national minorities announced that they will back the mayor of Sibiu – Klaus Johannis – for the premiership, but the proposal was rejected by President Traian Basescu. The chief of state announced that he designated Lucian Croitoru to form the new Government.
