Bro, grab a beer and sit down, 'cause I've got news that'll make you realize our politics is more stretched than shaving with a rusty blade! Silviu Predoiu, the former SIE chief, made a fool of Eugen Tomac, one of the possible premiers, live on Marius Tucă's show. Listen up: 'If Mr. Tomac, the president of a party that didn't even get into Parliament, qualifies for the prime minister position, then I qualify too, and even more so, given my managerial experience.' What do you say, bro? I mean, if that guy with PMP, who has zero MPs, can dream of Victoria Palace, then the boy from P.L.A.N. (that's Predoiu) has the right too. Let's be serious! Don't kid me: Tomac is a presidential advisor and Nicușor Dan's proposal, but his party is a big zero in Parliament. And Predoiu, in turn, has a party with no MPs either. It's like me saying I qualify for head of state because I drove a 2008 BMW E90 - I mean, if we're gonna dream, let's dream big!
But wait, it's not over. The context is even sadder: since May 5, the Bolojan Government has been dismissed, with 281 votes for the no-confidence motion, even though only 233 were needed. I mean, they kicked him out with enthusiasm, like Mioara kicks out the house when my mother-in-law, Aunt Veta, shows up with bags of pickles and opinions about politics. Now, Bolojan's cabinet is in office with limited powers, so it can't do much. President Nicușor Dan called everyone for consultations, but the parties are scattered like the guys at Fane's terrace when the bill comes. Some want a technocrat premier, others want a political one - I mean, everyone's pulling their own way, like towing my BMW when it breaks down in winter.
And so, in a country where a party with no MPs can produce a premier, and the former SIE chief mocks the whole story, I ask: who's paying, bro? Us, the Romanians, who watch the news and wonder. Until then, I'm gonna call Relu to see if he still remembers how to form a majority, 'cause he's specialized in mixing - at least he's good at that.
