Romania’s president nominates MEP and advisor Eugen Tomac as PM in bid to end deadlock
Tomac would lead a technocratic cabinet as Dan seeks parliamentary backing for reforms to secure EU funds and stabilize Romania’s finances, officials said.
- On Thursday, Romanian President Nicusor Dan appointed Eugen Tomac as prime minister-designate, tasking him with forming a new government after weeks of political uncertainty and failed coalition negotiations.
- Prolonged political instability prompted the nomination following the May collapse of the coalition between the Social Democratic Party and the National Liberal Party , with no single party commanding a parliamentary majority.
- A member of the European Parliament with European Renew Europe, Tomac must stabilize Romania's economy and secure access to €11 billion in European Union recovery funds while safeguarding the nation's investment-grade credit rating.
- Facing a ten-day deadline to assemble a government team, Tomac must build a parliamentary majority to address the political deadlock and mounting economic challenges.
- Born in Ukraine, the Bucharest University History graduate has previously focused on the rights of Romanians abroad and Moldova's eventual reunification, now confronting the largest budget deficit in the European Union.
