| Romanian Governing Coalition Faces Split |
| Adjust font size: |
Romania's Conservative Party on Sunday decided to pull out from the governing coalition due to disagreements over policies with other governing parties, according to a resolution adopted on the meeting of the party's Political Bureau. The resolution was adopted unanimously and was submitted to the National Council currently holding session at the Parliament Palace. "The coalition has refused to support our law proposals ... We decided to immediately withdraw our members from the government and their transfer to the opposition," said Daniela Popa, deputy head of the Conservatives. The Conservative Party, the smallest one in the four-party governing coalition, has the vice PM for economic issues, Minister of Economy and Trade, six state secretaries and 11 representatives of governmental agencies in the government. All Conservatives are to resign from governmental positions soon, a party official said. Their departure would make the governing coalition lose its parliamentary majority, which might result in early elections. But some analysts predicted that Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu would be able to hold a minority coalition government relying on outside support from independent law makers. Tariceanu was supposed to meet President Traian Basescu on Sunday evening to discuss the current political situation. (Xinhua News Agency December 4, 2006) |
