Parliamentary parties' leaders have various solutions to "block" the enforcement of the law on the status of Magyars abroad in Romania, in case the task of making a decision is transferred to the Parliament, as PM Adrian Nastase said it might be possible.
No matter if they opt for a diplomatic solution, for the Government's intervention by a law draft or for the decision to be made by the legislative body exclusively, the political leaders, except those of the Democratic Union of Magyars in Romania (UDMR), claim the law must not be enforced in Romania.
If the Government in Bucharest wants to involve the Parliament in passing such decisions, it may enact a law draft and submit it to the Parliament for debating and passing, the chairman of the Senate's Foreign Policy Committee, Party of Social Democracy (PSD) senator Gheorghi Prisacaru said.
"I have repeatedly said that such decisions have to be made by the Government. If PM Nastase says he will let the Parliament decide, it means he wants to give more weight to such a measure," Prisacaru specified. He added that as long as PM Orban himself admitted that the "law is perfectible," this shows how necessary consultations were, prior to the enactment of the law by the Hungarian Parliament.
Mircea Ionescu Quintus, honorary PNL (National Liberal Party) leader and member of the Senate's Foreign Policy Committee thinks the Cabinet will not settle for a law draft, but "probably" request the Parliament to issue a decision in this regard.
"We can issue a decision to be more credible, a decision to specify that only Romanian laws may be enforced on the Romanian territory. This problem will be debated in the Parliament, because the manner in which the Magyar officials reacted means there is no chance for an agreement," Quintus feels.
