Prime Minister Emil Boc and the members of his Cabinet attend debates. The meeting is presided over by Chamber of Deputies Speaker Roberta Anastase.

The no-confidence motion needs 236 pro votes to be adopted.

Ahead of the meeting, Boc restated that the Labor Code is aimed to create new jobs and support employment.

The Government sought a confidence vote in Parliament to adopt new labor legislation on March 8. The opposition (social democrats, liberals, conservatives) filed a motion of no-confidence in an attempt to overthrow the Government.
