Interim government 'more legitimate than PSD would like,' says minister

Romania's interim government is capable of performing its duties, but the country urgently requires a fully empowered executive, according to interim Transport and Defense Minister Radu Miruță.

“

This government is more legitimate than the PSD would like, which thought that if it overturned the table and left the Government, all of Romania would cry

Speaking in Timișoara, Miruță asserted that the current interim government possesses more legitimacy than the Social Democratic Party (PSD) might wish for, particularly after PSD's withdrawal from the previous government. He argued that the interim government's functionality demonstrates the failure of PSD's efforts to obstruct Romania's decision-making processes.

“

It is urgently necessary to have a government, but this government just proves that it works. And it just proves that PSD's plans to block various decisions in Romania have not achieved their goal

Despite acknowledging the necessity of a new government to fully implement its assumed policies, Miruță stressed that the current political situation should not impede crucial decisions for Romania. He reiterated the USR party's stance, stating they will not vote for a government that includes the PSD, emphasizing a need for long-term solutions rather than temporary measures.

“

we said what the thresholds and degrees of freedom are in which we sit at the table, in the sense that we will no longer vote for a government with the Social Democratic Party

Miruță's remarks came during a visit to Timișoara for technical discussions with his Serbian counterpart regarding the development of road and river transport between the two countries, including cooperation on the Bega River.

Romania does not need these bandages with which to pass another three or four months. Romania needs a government that will carry out, with its power, measures that it assumes in its governing program
