Diana Buzoianu reacted harshly after the MPs AUR, POT and PACE demanded her removal from the Senate plenary, on Monday, on the grounds that she had already received a “parliamentary reprimand” when the simple motion against her was voted.
On Monday, February 9, during the debates on simple motions in the Senate plenary, the opposition parliamentarians demanded that Diana Buzoianu be removed from the room, citing the fact that a simple motion had previously been adopted against her.
The Minister of the Environment commented on the situation during an intervention on Antena 3, emphasizing that simple motions do not produce direct legal effects, but that the opposition’s request reflects “dictatorial tendencies”.
“Today there was a grotesque circus in the Parliament. Of course the parliamentarians from AUR, POT and PACE who wanted to take the floor so that I could be removed from the room did so only to be on a bunch of TV channels tonight, because in reality simple motions do not produce the effects of dismissing someone. Basically, the simple motion expresses a position towards an internal and external policy issue. Now, if the gentlemen from GOLD, POT and PACE have used this tool for another purpose, it doesn’t mean that the moment you come and stamp your feet angry that they are not given the legal effects they would like with this tool, suddenly what they want happens”. said Diana Buzoianu.
The Minister of the Environment strongly criticized the opposition and accused the parliamentarians from AUR, POT and PACE of “dictatorial tendencies”.
“They know very well that that simple motion is not created to be able to dismiss ministers. These motions, even when they pass, do not produce legal effects. The idea that they would like to see a man picked up and taken away by the gendarmes in front of them just because they don’t like that man shows once again what dictatorial tendencies these people really have.” said Diana Buzoianu.
She was asked what she thinks about the fact that the motion against her was the only one that passed the vote, in the context in which all the others, including those on Monday, February 9, were rejected.
“It is a political decision. Some political calculations were made, they decided that in certain situations it is advantageous for their electorate to vote in a certain way, in another situation in another way. It is their decision and it is a political decision. The idea that we do not like each other and that this should automatically remove us from the Government, we are very sorry, but things do not work like that. The parties that entered this coalition are not parties that have historically understood each other over time. There are parties that they often had opposite positions”, said the Minister of the Environment.
We remind you that the parliamentarians from the PACE group demanded on Monday, February 9, that Diana Buzoianu be removed from the room, claiming that the minister received a “parliamentary reproach” after a simple motion initiated by the AUR against him was adopted last December.
