AUR will not vote for a government it's not part of, backs early elections

The Romanian party AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians) has declared it will not support any government it is not a part of, with its First Vice-President Dan Dungaciu stating that the only acceptable condition for participation would be if the prime minister is designated from within AUR.

“

Our political position at this moment, the only government AUR can be part of is one where the prime minister is AUR and the governing principles are those we have already suggested. So, from this point of view, there is no change in position or positioning. There is no question of us voting for a government we are not part of, whether it is minority or majority, and that will not change.

Dungaciu also asserted that AUR has not been contacted for any negotiations regarding the current government led by Nicolae Ciucă (though the article mentions "Guvernul Veștea", likely a typo or referring to a potential new PM), and reiterated the party's stance in favor of early elections. He criticized the parties in the current government, describing their approach as "political improvisation" and suggesting that introducing "principles and values" into the current context would cause confusion and deadlock.

"These people have no real solutions and try to improvise everything," Dungaciu said, criticizing the governing parties' adoption of Western political ideas. He emphasized AUR's firm position: "Our political position at this moment, the only government AUR can be part of is one where the prime minister is AUR and the governing principles are those we have already suggested. So, from this point of view, there is no change in position or positioning. There is no question of us voting for a government we are not part of, whether it is minority or majority, and that will not change."

Dungaciu reaffirmed AUR's support for early elections as a solution to the current political deadlock. "The big discussion we are having and have announced publicly is that we would like early elections. All this deadlock leads to early elections, and we wouldn't want to disrupt the process," he explained, noting that the president must be in office to call early elections. "What interests us first and foremost is that the process of early elections takes place." The party's decision was made following a National Political Council (BNC) meeting.
