\npresident Klaus Iohannis on Monday started a new round of talks with the
\nleaders of parliamentary parties to designate a new prime minister. He met the
\nrepresentatives of the Social Democratic Party and the National Liberal Party,
\nthe largest parties in Parliament. The Social Democrats proposed Liviu Voinea,
\nthe deputy governor of the National Bank, aged 40, for the position of prime
\nminister. Between 2012 and 2014, he was a junior minister for budget in Victor
\nPonta’s cabinet, having previously worked as a state secretary in the finance
\nministry. The Liberals said they were in favour of early elections, but that
\nthey would also support the idea of a technocratic prime minister. On Tuesday,
\nthe president is having talks with the Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in
\nRomania, the National Union for the Progress of Romania, the Alliance of
\nLiberals and Democrats for Europe and the parliamentary group of ethnic
\nminorities. A first round of talks was held last week, but the main political
\nparties were reluctant to take on the responsibility of government. The
\npresident also held talks with representatives of civil society and the people
\ndemonstrating for the past week across the country. Protests continued on

\nparties on Monday with a view to designating a new candidate for the position
\nof prime minister. Last week, the Moldovan president held talks with the
\nleaders of the pro-European parties in the former ruling alliance, namely the
\nLiberal Democratic Party, the Liberal Party and the Democratic Party, whom he
\ncalled on to reach a consensus. The former government led by the

\nthe backdrop of political uncertainty in the Republic of Moldova, the Romanian
\npresident Klaus Iohannis on Monday called on Parliament to reassess a bill
\nunder which Romania is to grant a loan of 150 million euros to this country.
\nThe president explained there is no certainty at the moment that Moldova would
\ncontinue its European integration efforts and the necessary reforms. Romania
\ncontinues, however, to support Moldova’s pro-European path, the president also
\nsaid, adding that the loan could still be granted, depending on the political
\ndevelopments in Moldova.<\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
