Romania Needs Full-Power Government, UDMR Leader Warns

Kelemen Hunor, leader of the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), has issued an urgent call for Romania to form a government with full powers, imploring pro-European parties to set aside their disputes. "People are tired of this circus, they are tired of this uncertain situation and say: find a solution. And they are right," Hunor stated on Facebook, emphasizing that citizens did not cause the crisis but need a functioning country.

People are tired of this circus, they are tired of this uncertain situation and say: find a solution. And they are right. They did not cause this crisis, but they need a country that works.

During negotiations with the Social Democratic Party (PSD), National Liberal Party (PNL), and Save Romania Union (USR), Hunor urged representatives to put aside personal grievances and focus on finding common ground. "We no longer need to calculate who made more mistakes, but to find the point where we can meet. I told our colleagues from PSD, PNL, and USR to put aside their grievances and make an effort to find a solution," he said.

Hunor cautioned that continued political paralysis benefits those who lack real solutions, citing the AUR party as an example. "The longer we prolong this crisis, the more those who actually have no solutions gain. George Simion doesn't have to do anything: he sits, watches the match, eats popcorn, drinks a beer, and his party grows in the polls," the UDMR leader observed.

He warned that without a fully empowered government, ministries operate slowly, emergency ordinances cannot be adopted, new legislation is stalled, and the risk of losing European funds increases. Hunor reaffirmed UDMR's readiness to participate in a governing coalition with PSD, PNL, and USR, but firmly excluded any cooperation with AUR, labeling it an extremist and anti-Hungarian party.

We are ready to discuss any responsible solution alongside PSD, PNL, and USR. But we will not participate in legitimizing or normalizing AUR, an extremist and anti-Hungarian party.
