The decision comes after another Liberal, Ludovic Orban, resigned as PM designate, following the Social Democratic Partys boycotting the investiture vote and following a ruling of the Constitutional Court against Orbans nomination. Prior to the decision to nominate Citu, the Liberals said they would support the presidents decision to designate a new PM and would try to secure a parliamentary majority, while the Social Democrats said they would not endorse a minority Liberal government. Save Romania Union said they are open to joining in a government and came up with a PM nomination, and so did the Peoples Movement Party, whereas the Democratic Union of Ethnic Hungarians voiced support for a coalition government. ALDE pleaded for an independent prime minister, whereas the president of the leftist Pro Romania Party, Victor Ponta, nominated himself for head of government and said he is able to put together a parliamentary majority.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>(translated by: Ana-Maria Popescu)<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>President Iohannis names acting Finance Minister Florin Citu as PM designate<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":113,"featured_media":75903,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[35389,33031,34905,30247,31840,29268,29933],"coauthors":[],"class_list":["post-104172","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-newsflash","tag-citu","tag-designate","tag-early","tag-elections","tag-majority","tag-parliament","tag-pm"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
