The government met on Tuesday morning, from 9:30 a.m., in an extraordinary meeting held in a hybrid format, convened just an hour and a half before the debate and vote on the censure motion submitted by PSD and AUR against the Cabinet led by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.
According to the official agenda, the Government is to adopt several normative acts, including an emergency ordinance initiated by the Ministry of Agriculture, necessary to fulfill a milestone in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).
Among the projects on the agenda is a draft emergency ordinance on the amendment and completion of Law no. 268/2001, regarding the privatization of the companies that administer agricultural land owned by the state, as well as the reorganization of structures in the field of land administration, fishing and aquaculture.
The Executive will also discuss changes to Emergency Ordinance no. 58/2023 regarding the granting of teaching and professional career bonuses for education staff, financed from non-refundable external funds, as well as measures related to the management of the Education and Employment Program 2021-2027.
On the agenda of the meeting are also two draft government decisions aimed at updating the methodological norms for establishing the standard cost per student, both for state pre-university education and for private and confessional units accredited without a fee.
Government sources stated that it is possible that other projects will be introduced on the agenda.
The extraordinary meeting comes after the Executive also met on Monday afternoon, when it approved several important measures, including the continuation of the “New House” program, with a guarantee ceiling of 500 million lei, but also an emergency ordinance that allows the Treasury to grant credits worth 10 billion lei to administrative-territorial units to accelerate projects financed through the PNRR.
In parallel, Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan faces on Tuesday the decisive test of the censure motion initiated by PSD and AUR, signed by 254 parliamentarians. The executive runs the risk of being dismissed following the vote in the assembled plenary session of the Parliament.
