Brussels doesn't want early elections

Organizing early elections, as soon as possible, was a theme to divide the entire political class in Romania, beyond the traditional power-opposition limits. Even the president and the prime minister argued on the subject, less than one month after they both agreed that it was the best solution. Still, officials say it might be the best solution, in case the Parliament is a problem in promoting the necessary laws.

The fears expressed by prime minister Tariceanu are also supported by Brussels, where European officials don’t have a good eye on the early elections, given the pre-accession commitments Romania has assumed.

"It is Romania’s option. But I don’t think is the best option because it would detour the attention from the integration process, which is already a difficult test. On the other hand, in case the Parliament is a problem, than it might be the only option”, officials declared.

Te chief of the European Delegation in Romania, Jonathan Scheele, said that "it wouldn’t be a direct impact. Such an event consumes time and energy required for solving other problems. It all depends on the amount of energy consumed with such an event”.
