Social democrat MP Adrian Nastase said the party’s group of senators should have been allowed to nominate a replacement for the Senate chairman in case of dismissal as per a Constitutional Court ruling.
However, as the Senate has not accepted to allow social democrats to name a replacement for Geoana, the party has discarded plans to have him dismissed so as not to risk having the ruling Democratic Liberal Party take over the helm of the Senate.
Social democrat senators on Monday called on Geoana to resign and were preparing to have a vote in plenary to dismiss him.
