Romanian broad ruling coalition parties must continue despite tensions, president says
PSD members are likely to vote on withdrawing backing for Ilie Bolojan, a move that could unsettle Romania's four-party governing coalition.
- President Nicusor Dan said Romania's four-party coalition must continue to govern, even as the Social Democrats prepare to likely vote on Monday to withdraw support for Liberal Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan.
- The coalition formed 10 months ago with a 2027 leadership rotation agreement, but the PSD has repeatedly clashed with Bolojan over spending cuts, breaching internal protocols signed when the government took office.
- Ratings agencies warn political instability is Romania's biggest risk, threatening the country's investment-grade status as the government attempts to cut the European Union's largest budget deficit.
- While Bolojan refuses to resign, sources indicate the PSD may abandon the rotation pact if the Liberals nominate a candidate other than the current prime minister.
- President Dan offered to mediate the rupture late Thursday, telling local radio, "We need a coalition, an understanding between these parties." His intervention signals an attempt to preserve government stability.
