Romania's government shakes up, seven ministers resign

Seven ministers from Romania's largest party, the Social Democrats, have resigned from Prime Minister Ilie Boloian's pro-European coalition government, depriving it of a parliamentary majority and jeopardizing access to EU funds.

"From this moment on, the prime minister no longer has the support of the parliamentary majority, which means that he no longer has the democratic legitimacy to exercise the leadership of the Government of Romania.  According to the Constitution, no group and no person can exercise national sovereignty in its own name, contrary to the will of the parliamentary majority resulting from free and democratic elections ," the PSD said in a statement.

Once the resignations are officially registered with the prime minister's office, they, along with proposals for replacements, will be sent to the presidential administration for the preparation of decrees for their dismissal and the appointment of interim officials.

Romania was plunged into political crisis after the PSD decided on Monday to withdraw political support for the prime minister and withdraw its ministers from the cabinet, citing disagreement with a number of austerity measures adopted by the government and the lack of genuine dialogue between partners in the ruling coalition.

Until now, Romania was governed by a ruling coalition consisting of the center-left Social Democratic Party, the center-right National Liberal Party, the Save Romania Union, and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania.

The cabinet has now shifted significantly to the right. In an effort to resolve the political crisis, President Nicusor Dan is holding consultations with party leaders in the hope of convincing them to reach a compromise and preserve the coalition. /CNA
