UDMR Congress/ Kelemen Hunor: We want to stay in government, we have undertaken the work for four years

The acting chairman of the Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR), Kelemen Hunor, said on Friday, at the opening of the Conference of Local Elected Members of the UDMR, that the Union wants to remain in government, because it is a "job" that it has undertaken for four years, but that it remains to be seen "what will happen after we have the new prime minister", while the UDMR will hold on "with teeth to the positions" it holds.

In the opening of the Conference, Kelemen Hunor said that from the end of 2020 the Union assumed its governmental role and "stated that governance makes sense" if it will be possible to govern "for the community".
