Eugen Tomac to send government program to parties, urges end to political games

Romania's Prime Minister-designate Eugen Tomac announced that the government's program will be distributed to all political parties on Thursday, June 11. He expressed his hope that parliamentary formations will prioritize citizens' interests and help resolve the current political stalemate.

“

I want to find the necessary consensus to get out of this state of deadlock. I have shown and continue to show full openness to dialogue, but these things can only be achieved when there is good faith.

"I want to find the necessary consensus to get out of this state of deadlock. I have shown and continue to show full openness to dialogue, but these things can only be achieved when there is good faith," Tomac stated, emphasizing that political priorities should be the interests of Romanians, not electoral strategies or party disputes.

Tomac criticized political parties, suggesting they are more concerned with the upcoming 2028 elections than with the country's pressing problems. "No citizen in this country is to blame that political parties are looking more towards the electoral year 2028 than at what is happening today in our country. We have a war at the border, we have conflicts that affect our domestic market, and obviously, from this point of view, the country needs a functional government," he asserted.

We have a war at the border, we have conflicts that affect our domestic market, and obviously, from this point of view, the country needs a functional government.

He appealed for responsibility and cooperation among political forces, warning that prolonged political conflicts do not meet public expectations. "The time has come to put the political game aside. The political agenda is justified in a democracy when things are clear. However, if we continue with this line we are observing at the moment, I don't think that's what citizens want. Citizens have other concerns, other expectations, and many disappointments," Tomac added.

Tomac also conveyed flexibility regarding potential government members, stating, "No person proposed by me is irreplaceable." He is open to modifications in the future government's structure, expressing confidence that the crisis can be overcome. He stressed that citizens' interests and international commitments, particularly with the European Commission regarding EU funds, must take precedence over political agendas.
