"I was invited by the Prime Minister to discuss the budget and the protocol PMP signed with the PNL before the investiture of the Government. There are a couple of emergencies that we considered. First of all, I believe it is essential we acknowledge the signal sent by the citizens in the presidential election. Therefore, we discussed about the need to increase the number of MPs representing Diaspora, for the Romanian citizens abroad must be represented accordingly, and the PM agrees with this matter and I am certain that in the next period we will find a solution to increase the number of MPs for the Romanians living abroad, who are part of the Romanian nation," stated Eugen Tomac, on Thursday, at the end of the meeting at the Victoria Palace.
