Negotiable Romania

PM Calin Popescu told everyone he had chosen the European Commissary. At least he thought he did, because it seems it isn’t quite like that. The same situation took place in the past two years, since Traian Basescu has become the Romanian President.

PM Calin Popescu told everyone he had chosen the European Commissary. At least he thought he did, because it seems it isn’t quite like that. The same situation took place in the past two years, since Traian Basescu has become the Romanian President. Every time he feels he is in control, poor Tariceanu has to face the contradictory decisions of Traian Basescu. Like in the case of the nomination of the European Commissary. This Commissary has to be approved, or even named by the President. The death of the J. T. Alliance (Justice and Truth Alliance), as well as the disappearance of the Government Coalition have made it possible for the political environment to become totally negotiable. The fact that Traian Basescu managed to name the leaders of the two secret services with the help of SDP (the Social Democratic Party) shows it very clearly. NLP (the National Liberal Party) negotiated in its turn with SDP, but they got scared of the idea before getting there. In its turn, DUHR (the Democratic Union of the Hungarians in Romania) negotiates with anyone that assures them a part of the power. The Conservatory Party and GRP (the Great Romania Party) are the two isolated parties of the moment, the parties ready for the opposition. Why? Because, sooner or later, the before-term elections will take place. The later, the worse for NLP, the better for DP (the Democratic Party). An incredible party that has the power, but behaves like it would be in the Opposition. No matter the date of the elections, on term or before term, SDP depends on President Traian Basescu. Whatever the result of the elections, the President is entitled to name the Prime Minister to make the Government. In other words, the president has a greater power than the king does, since the latter names a member of the party that wins the elections as the PM. As we all saw in 2004, the President can make the Government, knowing our politicians’ appetite for power. Therefore, even if SDP won the elections, it wouldn’t be able to form the Government if Traian Basescu didn’t want that. NLP is in the same situation. Moreover, each party can be used to blackmail the other. DP is the only calm party, because it will have the power no matter the political combination. Romania is negotiable these days. It is totally negotiable.
Long live Romania!
