Ponta: Talk about a majority is over; let us get down to business, as the country has to be governed

Prime Minister Victor Ponta said Friday that the vote cast on the motion of censure against him and talk about a new parliamentary majority are over and the Government should continue its activities.

"You have the outcome. What else is there to add? Ask Mr Blaga. There is one thing: the talk about a majority is over, they've failed to mount a majority. Let us get down to business because the country has to be governed," Ponta said upon leaving the plenary vote session of Parliament after finding that the motion was defeated.

The motion was defeated, although it garnered 194 ayes and 13 nays.

In order to pass, the motion would have needed 278 ayes. AGERPRES
