The first parliamentary session ends in a different formula compared to the beginning of the current legislature. About 40 elected officials of the sovereign parties changed the formation or remained non -affiliated following the abolition of the groups they belonged to.

In January, at the Chamber of Deputies, the sovereign parties had 115 mandates of the 331 members, and in the Senate 47 of the 133 members, that is a total of 162 parliamentarians, over a third and with only 71 people missing until the majority of a censorship motion, the instrument of which the opposition can be used to take the government.
Now, at the end of the first parliamentary session, the situation is different. In order to pass a censorship motion, the sovereign parties must bring over 100 votes. In just six months of mandate, all three sovereign political formations have lost people, and smaller parties, SOS and can, lost the parliamentary groups from the Senate.
Can, the first party that remains without a group to the Senate
The party of young people (can), led by Anamaria Gavrilă, entered the Parliament against the background of Călin Georgescu’s support, was the first to lose the elected officials, whether it was resignations or exclusions. They can have seven senators, but the group was abolished in May, and in the Chamber of Deputies it has 14 members of the 24 who initially entered the party lists.
SOS eliminated several members who joined the sovereignal pole
The situation is similar to SOS Romania, led by MEP Diana Şoșoaca. The Senate group was abolished after the political formation decided to exclude three members: Nadia-Cosmina Cerva, Petrea Dorin Silviu and Clement Sava. The exclusions come shortly after another wave of eliminations. Adrian Peiu and Rodica Cușnir were excluded after publicly announced the participation in the creation of a pro-European sovereignist, the “first Romania” alliance, made up of people from SOS, can also be open to the new government.
Onea Olga, Ionel Carp and Gheorghe Daniel Paul Romeo left the group, the last two being affiliated with the PSD group. Thus, SOS Romania reached only 6 parliamentarians in the Senate, out of the 14 that were initially.
At the Chamber of Deputies he lost 11 members, remaining only 17. The former left in the first days after the parliamentary vacation, in February, even after taking over their mandates. Szőke Ecaterina-Mariana, Moiseev Alexandrin, Andrei Cosmin and Băişanu Ştefan-Alexandru were affiliated with the PSD. In June Jianu Iosif-Florin also joined, who left the sauce. Andrei Cosmin Gușă went to gold at the beginning of June, and another 5 remained non -affiliated, including Ciprian Ciubuc, a deputy who is in the second term, the first being on the gold list.
Gold, threatened by the establishment of another party
The situation of the party led by George Simion, the Alliance for the Union of Romanians (Gold), is a better one in terms of the number of members, but the formation is threatened by the establishment of the party the conservative action by the former MEP and Co-president Claudiu Late, which was removed from the party. From gold, 3 deputies left: George Becali, Alecu Robert, who followed the former Claudiu Claudiu Claudiu, and Neacșu Andreea Firuța.
The sovereign parties, in the Parliament due to the “conjuncture” from the time of the elections
Political George Jiglău emphasizes that entrance can and sauce “It was a very short -term issue“, With”long -term impact ”in the context of the intercalated calendar of the elections from the end of last year, when the parliamentarians took place between the two presidential elections, and Călin Georgescu ranked first in the annulled round: “If these elections were coming after a month or, who knows, please, this was the calendar, with these presidential elections, maybe there may be in Parliament.”
Moreover, in the case of the SOS and may be expected to have moves, and in some cases, the vote for the sovereigns also came as a punishment for the big parties: “Let us not forget that in the autumn and the presidential, I think that to a reasonable and parliamentary extent, we can assume that it has happened the same, many voters have formulated their intent or the decision to vote, on the spot, even in the voting cabin or at least on the day of the vote. So, I do not know if we are talking about decisions that would be behind the vote for parties like this, which have been so complex and sophisticated, so that now these voters feel deeply deceived during their expectations. “
“Their main loyalty is only secondary to the party that sent it there, the party is like a variety of vehicle” – George Jiglău, politicalologist
Despite the fact that the moves from one political formation to another change the initial construction given by the voters vote, the political scientist explains that the mandate of a parliamentarian is not imperative, it is a representative one.
“And there are these three levels of political representation. The first level is the nation, the state as a whole, so they take the oath as parliamentarians, they take the oath towards the country. This is the element, based on which, which is constituently speaking, for which they cannot lose their mandate. Obviously it is a matter of interpretation here, but this is the interpretation and here for a long time and I do not know if it will change very soon, that the mandate is not imperative about the voters in the constituency it represents, it is a representative mandate and the first level of representation and the most important is the one in the country. Then the second is the party and the third is the constituency.
So, their main loyalty is only secondary to the party that sent it there, the party is like a variety of vehicle, but once you have become a representative. You were voted via the party, but you were voted and you got to take the oath there you will receive a warrant validated by the Constitutional Court, by the Parliament as a whole, then you keep it to continue where you think it is appropriate.”, Shows George Jiglău.
