Romania's Largest Coalition Party to Demand Prime Minister's Resignation Amid Political Tensions

Romania's largest coalition party, the Social Democrats, plan to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan from the centre-right Liberal Party, risking a political crisis. The coalition, formed to counter the far right, faces internal clashes over reforms needed to secure EU funds and maintain credit ratings. If the Social Democrats withdraw support, the government could lose its majority, leading to potential no-confidence votes and prolonged coalition negotiations.
