Romania – Government survives no-confidence motion

Another day, another no-confidence vote in Romania. This time the government made the so-called 2011 Payroll Law a matter of confidence. This meant that if the opposition failed to lodge a motion of no-confidence and if such a motion was not passed, then the government’s bill would become law.

The Romanian News Agency is reporting that 236 votes were needed to pass the no-confidence motion. However, the motion received the support of only 190 deputies and senators. Therefore, the motion failed and the government’s bill passed.

A further no-confidence motion is planned for Thursday on the so-called Unitary Wage Law.
