Despite this, the far -right nationalist and Eurosceptic Simion, who ran instead of Georgezka, declared his intention to return him to power to the post of government head.
« If the Romanian people want to, there are several ways to be returned to the leadership, and we will use them, » Simion said to foreign journalists on Sunday.
« We can form a majority and appoint it to the Prime Minister; we can hold early elections or declare a referendum, » Simion said, not specifying which referendum he implies.
Literally: « Although the President in Romania appoints the Prime Minister, he cannot legally interfere with attempts to form the ruling majority in parliament.
The early elections that are held if the parliament rejects the two proposed government warehouses within 60 days, look unlikely, since this has never happened, and legislators traditionally find a way out of the situation – even a controversial. «
Details: On December 1, the parliamentary elections took place in Romania, where the AUR Simion Party and two other far -right forces received about 35% of seats.
