UDMR's position on the no-confidence motion. Cseke Attila rejects any association with AUR
Translated from Romanian, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- The Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) will not support a no-confidence motion against the government.
- UDMR interim Health Minister Cseke Attila stated the party will vote against the motion and reiterated their refusal to cooperate with the AUR party.
- The motion is being initiated by PSD and AUR, who are working on a joint text to be debated in early May.
In a significant political maneuver, the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) has firmly declared its opposition to the upcoming no-confidence motion targeting the current government. Cseke Attila, the interim Health Minister and a prominent UDMR figure, unequivocally stated that his party will vote against the motion, emphasizing their constitutional right to do so. More importantly, Attila reiterated UDMR's steadfast refusal to engage in any form of governance or collaboration with the extremist AUR party. This stance underscores UDMR's commitment to maintaining its political integrity and avoiding association with parties whose ideologies clash with their own. The motion itself, initiated jointly by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and AUR, aims to oust the government led by Ilie Bolojan. While PSD and AUR are collaborating on the text of the motion, UDMR's clear rejection signals a potential hurdle for their efforts, highlighting the complex and often fragmented political landscape in Romania.
The opposition in Parliament today, I understand, wants to introduce a motion. It is a constitutional prerogative of any opposition, and we will see procedurally what happens when it is introduced, when it is put to a vote, UDMR will not vote for this motion. What is certain is that UDMR cannot be in support of AUR in government. We have said this and we reiterate it again.
