Romania's parliament ousted the pro-European government of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan in a no-confidence vote. The vote took place on Tuesday, May 5, and the motion of no confidence was supported by 281 out of 464 deputies, exceeding the required threshold of 233 votes. Bolojan's government had been in office for ten months. Der Standard ↗ Standard.sk ↗
An unexpected coalition against the government was formed by social democrats and far-right parties. This alliance between traditionally opposing political forces met with criticism from the country's democratic forces, which accuse the social democrats of cooperating with extremists in putting together this coalition. Bolojan represented the center-right liberal current. Spiegel.de ↗ El Pais ↗
The fall of the government opens a period of political uncertainty for Romania. Bolojan will remain in office until a new government is formed, which the president will seek to arrange. Analysts warn of potential consequences for public finances and access to European Union funds. Romania thus faces a critical period in its political history, as similar crises become increasingly frequent in European Union countries. Le Monde ↗ Le Monde ↗
