Romania president taps new PM to form gov’t
Romanian President Nicusor Dan on Sunday tapped a new prime minister to form a government after the previous hopeful dropped out.
EU member Romania has faced political turmoil since Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was ousted in a no-confidence motion in early May.
The Social Democratic Party, his former governing partner, decided to quit the ruling coalition and teamed up with the far right on the motion.
“Mr. Eugen Tomac withdrew his candidacy this morning, and under these circumstances, I am appointing Mr. Adrian Vestea as prime minister,” Dan said in a statement.
