AUR leader Simion declares party will not support new government vote
George Simion announced that AUR parliamentarians will not cast any vote to endorse the newly formed executive.
In a recent message, George Simion criticized the Social Democratic Party for allegedly striking a deal with Ilie Bolojan following a prolonged political crisis. He asserts that the PSD has shifted its stance and is ready to support a government it once opposed. Simion warned that, as a result, AUR members of parliament will refuse to provide any vote for the new executive's investiture.
The statement comes amid ongoing negotiations to assemble a parliamentary majority capable of sustaining the government. Simion framed the PSD's alleged move as a betrayal of Romanian citizens. No indication was given that AUR would alter its position in the future.
Why it matters
AUR's refusal to vote could impede the formation of a stable governing majority in Romania.
