“1. Starting the dialogue for the rapid formation of a pro-European government In the coming days, the four parties and the representatives of the National Minorities will work on a joint governance program, based on development and reforms and which will take into account the priorities of the citizens of Romania. Thus, the parties agreed to establish a joint Commission for the implementation of the governance program and working groups on areas of activity. We agreed that a concrete plan is needed to streamline and reduce public spending and bureaucracy in public administration.
2. Increasing the current pace of investments and reforms in the PNRR. The current moment is a decisive one for Romania. A profound change is needed, and the pro-European parties assume this responsibility.

I would appreciate if someone, anyone can give me an explanation on why all in Romania use the word “minorities” in plural? You only have one minority, the Magyars!
