BUCHAREST, March 22 (Xinhua) -- Romania's Social Democrats will table a censure motion against the current cabinet unless Prime Minister Calin Popescu-Tariceanu comes before parliament with a reshuffled government within a week, announced Mircea Geoana, leader of the main opposition Social Democratic Party, on Thursday.

    "The prime minister must appear before parliament immediately and propose a reshuffled government. Otherwise we will explore other ways of forming a competent government," said Geoana, stressing that "the prime minister has one week to do this, before Palm Sunday and Easter."

    "If he does not appear before parliament, the opposition's move, which is already prepared, is a censure motion," Geoana said.

    "We cannot wait until Easter without an efficient government, able to find solutions to the current crisis," he added.

    In Geoana's opinion, "temporary or other solutions are simply superficial."

    President Traian Basescu also said that the current government or a reshuffled one should urgently appear before parliament in order to receive a vote of confidence, to establish the borders of a parliamentary majority.

    "The main problem is generated by the fact that the current government, a minority government, nourishes an ambiguous relationship between power and the opposition," Basescu said on Wednesday in a letter addressed to parliamentary parties.

    This is the reason "why, I think, it is appropriate to seek a majority that explicitly assumes the role of governing, based on a program agreed upon by the component parties," he said.

    Otherwise, the compulsory democratic solution for the entire political class would be the organization of anticipated elections, according to Basescu.

    Local analysts say that Romania is going through a deep political crisis. The opposition Social Democrats are currently trying to impeach President Traian Basescu. The irrational hatred between the governing Liberals and Democrats, as well as the political vendetta between the president and the prime minister, has worsened in recent months to the point that they confront each other publicly.
