Romania has entered a deeper political deadlock after parliament rejected the latest government proposal put forward by Prime Minister-designate Adrian Veștea, marking the second failed attempt by President Nicușor Dan to form a new cabinet since the fall of the previous administration. Only 189 lawmakers supported Veștea’s proposed center-right cabinet, well below the 233 votes required for approval.
