On Monday, the Romanian Parliament will hold a vote on the&#13;<br \/>\nLiberal government proposed by the prime minister designate Ludovic Orban. 233&#13;<br \/>\nyes votes are needed for the new government to take office. To secure this&#13;<br \/>\noutcome, Orban has concluded political agreements and deals with the Save&#13;<br \/>\nRomania Union, the Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians in Romania, the&#13;<br \/>\nPeople&#8217;s Movement Party, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats and the group&#13;<br \/>\nof ethnic minorities. The Social Democratic Party and the Pro Romania party&#13;<br \/>\nboth said their members would be absent from the vote. Orban&#8217;s cabinet would&#13;<br \/>\nreplace Viorica Dancila&#8217;s Social Democratic government which was brought down&#13;<br \/>\nfollowing a no-confidence vote. Ludovic Orban has proposed a government with&#13;<br \/>\nfewer ministries whose priorities include picking Romania&#8217;s candidate for the&#13;<br \/>\nposition of EU commissioner, the final budget adjustment this year and the&#13;<br \/>\nbudget for next year.<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold style=font-size: 1em;><br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold style=font-size: 1em;>Impeachment.<\/strong> The US House of Representatives has passed legislation to&#13;<br \/>\nformally proceed with the impeachment inquiry against president Donald Trump.&#13;<br \/>\nIt&#8217;s the third time in America&#8217;s modern history when such a vote is held.&#13;<br \/>\nPresident Trump is essentially accused of using his office to obtain personal&#13;<br \/>\npolitical gains through a foreign state, in this case Ukraine. He is accused of&#13;<br \/>\nmaking military aid for Ukraine conditional on the Ukrainian government&#8217;s&#13;<br \/>\nstarting an investigation into Trump&#8217;s Democratic rival Joe Biden. The White&#13;<br \/>\nHouse said in a statement that Trump did nothing illegal and described the&#13;<br \/>\ninvestigation as unfair, unconstitutional and fundamentally&#13;<br \/>\nun-American.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong class=cms-bold>Radio Day.<\/strong> Radio Day is celebrated every year in Romania on 1st of&#13;<br \/>\nNovember.
