The National Liberal Party (PNL) and its allies in a would-be new parliamentary majority in Romania, on October 28, failed to see approved their proposed calendar for the validation of their cabinet in Parliament and had to accept a five-day delay to November 4, according to Romania-Insider.com.
The calendar sent by prime minister-designate Ludovic Orban, who attended the meeting of the Parliament’s leading body was not adopted. Instead, an ad-hoc majority formed by Social Democrats (PSD), still in control of the Government, and Pro Romania, imposed their calendar, Hotnews.ro reported.
However, PM-designate Orban could use the extra time to consolidate the fragile majority he enjoys as long as Pro Romania openly withdrew its support.
In fact, Pro Romania joined forces with PSD to delay the validation of the Orban Executive until the last week of the presidential election campaign.
