Romanian Liberals Threaten No-Confidence Vote If Govt Takes Responsibility For Civil, Criminal Codes

Nicolaescu criticized in a press conference the fact that the Romanian government planned to assume responsibility for the four codes, which he said would be “aberrant”. He said that

According to Nicolaescu, the huge workload entailed by the codes will probably impede the Parliament from meeting its government-imposed deadline to finish debates and adopt them.

"If we come to the variant of the government assuming responsibility, we’ll probably have to resort to calling for a no-confidence vote against the government,” Nicolaescu said.

The Parliament has until May 15 to adopt the four codes, otherwise the government plans to assume responsibility for their adoption.

Parliament commissions started debates on the codes last week and the drafts raised controversies regarding the freedom of the press, gay rights and the definition of self-defense.
