Story summary
  • Seven Social Democratic ministers resigned, jeopardizing Romania’s eligibility for about €27 billion in EU funds and its credit rating.
  • The resignations left Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan without a parliamentary majority after the Social Democratic Party demanded his resignation over his spending-cut plan.
  • Bolojan will appoint interim ministers for 45 days, while President Nicusor Dan said the coalition rejects any far-right alliance and has not yet agreed on a governing arrangement.
