Siegfried Mureșan faces parliamentary vote for Romanian government

Siegfried Mureșan Romanian Government investiture vote parliamentary hearings governing program

Designated Prime Minister Siegfried Mureșan is entering the final stages of the parliamentary procedure to form a new government in Romania. Following the submission of a 372-measure governing program and a list of 16 proposed ministers, the parliamentary committees are scheduled to hold hearings on Monday and Tuesday. The decisive investiture vote is set for Wednesday at 13:00 in a joint session of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate.

Mureșan currently holds 170 votes from the PNL, USR, and UDMR parliamentary groups, but he requires 233 to secure the confidence of Parliament. The outcome largely depends on the Social Democratic Party (PSD), which has indicated it will not support the cabinet. Mureșan has warned that a lack of support could lead to a political crisis and potential early elections.

The proposed governing program includes several key objectives: reforming and modernizing ANAF, creating a single service window for citizens, reducing the state apparatus, and implementing a wage law by the end of October. Fiscal priorities include reducing the budget deficit without introducing new taxes and potentially lowering VAT to 19% when the budget permits. Mureșan has also sent personalized mission letters to each proposed minister to outline their specific responsibilities and priorities.
