BUCHAREST, Romania (AP) — Romanian President Nicusor Dan nominated a former mayor to be prime minister on Sunday as he seeks to end a political crisis after his previous pick for the premiership withdrew after failing to win political support.
Dan nominated 53-year-old Adrian Vestea, a career politician from central Brasov County and longtime member of the National Liberal Party, to try to form a government. Vestea is Dan’s second prime ministerial nomination this month, after his previous pick, Eugen Tomac, failed to present a cabinet to Parliament within 10 days.
