Cabinet Boc I

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Prime Minister Emil Boc

The Boc I cabinet was the first government of Romania formed by Emil Boc after the 2008 general election .

history

The Prime Minister Emil Boc and his cabinet were elected in the Romanian Parliament on December 22, 2008 with 324 of 471 votes and had a mandate until November 2012. The cabinet replaced the government of PNL politician Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu .

Governing parties were initially the Partidul Democrat Liberal (PD-L, Democratic-Liberal Party ) and the Partidul Social Democrat ( Social Democratic Party ). Both parties each had ten members in the cabinet; in addition, there was the non-party Justice Minister Cătălin Predoiu , who already held this office in the government of Popescu-Tăriceanu.

From the beginning there were numerous conflicts between the two governing parties, which were linked in a kind of grand coalition , which intensified further in the run-up to the 2009 presidential election . After Boc dismissed Interior Minister Nica against the wishes of the PSD, all social democratic ministers announced their resignation, which broke the coalition on October 1, 2009.

On the same day, Boc appointed provisional ministers to replace the resigned PSD ministers, with PD-L ministers already in office taking on a further portfolio. The interim ministers were allowed to officiate for 45 days.

Boc and the PD-L tried to get a parliamentary majority with the help of the UDMR - the party of Hungarians living in Romania -, with other MPs from small ethnic minorities and with defectors from PNL and PSD. However, the PNL and the UDMR initiated a vote of no confidence, which was supported by the PSD and approved on October 13, 2009 with 254 of 471 votes; 236 votes would have been required. The Boc government was only executive in office. The PSD and PNL were now planning to set up a technocratic cabinet until the presidential elections were held , headed by the German-born mayor of Sibiu, Klaus Johannis . President Băsescu rejected the proposal and nominated the financial expert Lucian Croitoru as prime minister on October 15th , who was only supported by the PD-L and rejected by parliament on November 4th. On November 6th, Băsescu proposed the Bucharest district mayor Liviu Negoiță (PD-L) as prime minister. This also failed with the attempt to organize a parliamentary majority and gave back the government mandate on December 15, 2009.

On November 27, 2009, a Bucharest court overturned the appointment of Vasile Blaga (PD-L) as Minister of the Interior on October 1 because of formal errors . This ministry was temporarily led by state secretaries.

After the runoff elections for the presidency, which Băsescu narrowly won on December 6, 2009, he nominated Emil Boc again for the office of Prime Minister on December 17. Boc formed a government from PD-L and UDMR (see Cabinet Boc II ), which was ratified by parliament on December 23. This ended the mandate of the first Boc government and a months-long political crisis.
