As far as PSD is concerned, interim president Marcel Ciolacu stated as recently as three days ago that in the February parliamentary session, PSD will call for a no-confidence vote. The text of this motion would also be dependent on the decision of the Constitutional Court to accept or decline the notice sent over the budget for 2020, however this is a line that PSD and Ciolacu have been toeing since before Christmas. Ciolacu and other PSD members advised that a no confidence vote could be called for reasons varying from the Government assuming responsibility for the budget or for modifications to the justice laws, and PSD has even passed a no confidence vote agaisnt the Minister for Public Finance.
