Victor Ponta has got a consistent majority in Parliament even without the UDMR. The Executive would resist a censure motion without the Hungarians votes, if they do not back down and do decide to  leave the Government.   

Victor Ponta and Kelemen Hunor will hold Wednesday talks that will conclude in a clear decision  related to the UDMR leave or stay in the government.

If Hungarians decide to leave the Executive, the Ponta Cabinet  can keep on governing with a consistent Parliament majority.  Specifically, from the overall 575 senators and deputies, the Government can rely on  331 votes without  UDMR.  On the other hand, the opposition  would only collect  244 votes, by 44 less votes than needed to pass a censure motion.

 The PSD-UNPR-PC alliance safety net are the  15 MPs supporting the project of  Călin Popescu Tăriceanu. To that, another 15 deputies and a senator are added from the  PPDD, a political party that concluded a collaboration protocol with the PSD. Overall, 31 votes compared to  26 the number  UDMR has. 

Tensions between UDMR and PSD intensified   after the  Foreign Ministry made ​​an intervention in a lawsuit at the European Court of Justice, where Hungarians contested the decision of the European Commission. The Commission rejected a citizens' initiative last year whereby  minority rights would be strengthened.
