'Veste's 600,000 euro donation' How Grindeanu responded when asked if PSD encourages mayors to do private business with property developers

In Parliament, Social-Democratic leader Sorin Grindeanu was asked if the PSD supports mayors engaging in private business with real estate developers, referencing Adrian Veștea's actions in Râșnov. An investigation by Snoop revealed that Veștea signed a land development certificate for a developer two months after receiving 600,000 euros for a private plot. Veștea served as mayor of Râșnov from 2004 to 2016. When questioned, Grindeanu responded by directing reporters to file a complaint with the DNA (National Anticorruption Directorate). The project involved building a luxury resort called '冷山

Premierul desemnat Adrian Veștea anunțase inițial că va depune miercuri la Parlament programul de guvernare și lista de miniștri a Guvernului pentru care va cere votul deputaților și senatorilor, însă planul s-a schimbat. Potrivit surselor HotNews, lista și programul vor fi depuse joi dimineață, iar în prezent încă se lucrează asupra lor. Pe ce se bazează Nicușor Dan?

La această oră Guvernul Veștea nu are voturile necesare să treacă de Parlament, conform unor surse politice concordante. După PNL, USR și UDMR, și AUR a anunțat, miercuri, prin Petrișor Peiu, că parlamentarii partidului nu vor vota acest guvern.

Un alt partid pe care se baza Veștea, SOS, condus de Diana Șoșoacă, a anunțat, tot azi, că cei 15 parlamentari ai formațiunii nu vor vota învestirea Cabinetului Veștea.

UDMR a decis să nu intre la ședința Parlamentului în care se va vota Guvernul Veștea, a anunțat Kelemen Hunor.

Planul premierului desemnat este ca audierile miniștrilor în Parlament și votul în plenul reunit să aibă loc mâine, au declarat pentru HotNews surse politice.

Lidera PNL Sibiu: Guvernul Veștea „ar putea trece doar cu voturile AUR”

Deputata Raluca Turcan susține că Guvernul Veștea ar putea trece de Parlament „doar cu voturile AUR”, având în vedere modul în care s-au poziționat PNL, USR și UDMR.

„De ce a trebuit ca președintele Nicușor Dan să desemneze, peste structurile de conducere ale PNL, un prim-vicepreședinte pentru funcția de premier, pentru a ajunge să facă majoritate cu AUR? Resping categoric această formulă de guvernare. Nu din perspectiva evaluărilor personale. Miniștri slabi, lipsiți de autonomie, au mai existat, din păcate. O resping din perspectiva respectului față de reguli, lege și valorile care ne despart”, a scris ea, miercuri, pe Facebook.

Liberala susține că Adrian Veștea trebuie „să își depună mandatul sau acesta să îi fie retras”, aceasta fiind „singura soluție pentru resetarea acestei catastrofe politice la care asistăm și care afectează oamenii, economia și credibilitatea externă a României”.
