Also Thursday, the opposition is expected to submit a second no-confidence motion, over the unitary wage law for the public sector. Chamber of Deputies vice-president Ioan Oltean said this motion will likely be read out Friday and also debated Monday.

The Romanian Government has recently survived another no-confidence motion in October this year. A year ago, a no-confidence motion which passed and the then Government was dismissed, but after Traian Basescu was re-elected as president and after several failed attempts to name a new prime minister, Emil Boc was again chosen to lead the Government.
