Romanian prime minister resigns amid ruling coalition's post-presidential election fallout

  • Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu resigned on Monday after his coalition's presidential candidate lost in Sunday's first election round.
  • The resignation comes after a repeat presidential election was held following the previous vote’s cancellation due to claims of voting irregularities and foreign meddling linked to Russia.
  • George Simion, a far-right nationalist leader who won nearly 41% of the vote in the first round, leads the runoff scheduled for May 18 against pro-EU Bucharest Mayor Nicusor Dan.
  • Ciolacu said the coalition “has no credibility after the Romanian vote” and proposed that the Social Democrats leave the government, implicitly causing his resignation.
  • Ciolacu’s resignation intensifies Romania’s political crisis, raising concerns in EU and NATO capitals amid the prospect of a shift toward far-right policies if Simion wins.
