Fourth Ponta Cabinet

The only parties that have decided not to sign the National Political Agreement on consolidating Romania's European course are the Social Democratic Party (PSD, major at rule, ed.n.) and the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats (ALDE, minor at rule, ed.n.), which continue to turn away from the citizens' interests, President Klaus Iohannis stated on Tuesday, adding that through its passivity, the

The plenary sitting of Parliament in which the censure motion called "The Dancila Government must be dismissed! No OUGs, no access passwords and no queues for voting" is to be debated has started. Prime Minister Viorica Dancila and ministers of the Cabinet are attending the sitting. A number of 250 MPs are in the plenary hall, according to the presence via the electronic vote.

Romania urgently needs a government with a pro-European vision, with a maximum of 15 ministries, not 27, oriented to the country's development priorities: education, healthcare, public investment and attracting European funds, shows the text of the censure motion, tabled on Wednesday in Parliament.

President Klaus Iohannis considers that the vote given on Monday in the Senate on the request for approval of the prosecution in the case of the Senate president is an act of "crass defiance" of the Romanians who cast their vote at the referendum, pointing out that "PSD [the Social Democratic Party, major at rule] and ALDE [the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, minor at rule] continue to obst

Prime Minister Viorica Dancila is expected this evening to submit to President Klaus Iohannis for approval her picks for acting ministers: Deputy Prime Minister Ana Birchall for acting justice minister; Finance Minister Eugen Teodorovici for acting minister for European funds, and Minister Radu Stefan Oprea for acting minister for Romanians abroad.

President Klaus Iohannis signed on Monday the decrees appointing Eugen Teodorovici acting Minister for Regional Development, and Rovana Plumb acting Minister of Transport, the Presidential Administration informs.

The joint plenary session of the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate rejected on Thursday the censure motion called "Enough! The Dragnea - Dancila Government, Romania's shame!," initiated by the National Liberal Party (PNL), the Save Romania Union (USR) and the People's Movement Party (PMP).

The censure motion does not have the necessary votes to pass without breaking the PSD-ALDE [Social Democratic Party -Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, ed.n.] coalition, UDMR chairman Kelemen Hunor said on Tuesday.

Romania plunged into a major political crisis for the second time in seven months after the party leadership of the ruling Social Democrat Party voted Monday to withdraw their political support for Prime Minister Mihai Tudose.

Tudose said he will submit his resignation by no later than Tuesday morning and will not stay in office as interim prime minister.
