According to the initiators, the government has proved its inability to manage finances, healthcare, education, social protection, justice and public administration, vital areas that define the life of a free and dignified people, the self\u2011styled sovereigntist opposition claims.<\/p>\n<p>Ruling coalition parties (PSD, PNL, USR and UDMR) have announced they will not vote for the motion. This will be debated and voted on next Monday.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Romania\u2013Germany Relations<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Romania\u2019s Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan will hold an official meeting on Tuesday with Germany\u2019s Federal Defense Minister Boris Pistorius at the Mihail Kog\u0103lniceanu Air Base (southeast), a strategic point for the allied defensive posture on the Eastern Flank. The official meeting will be followed by a joint press conference.<\/p>\n<p>According to a Ministry of Defense press release, talks will focus on bilateral defense cooperation, joint projects and regional security developments. The visit by Minister Boris Pistorius underscores Germany\u2019s firm commitment to Romania\u2019s security and to strengthening cooperation within NATO, the press release reads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Wave<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Romanian Foreign Ministry has confirmed the death of a Romanian citizen following the powerful waves that struck Spain\u2019s island of Tenerife at the end of last week. Representatives of the Romanian consular office remain in contact with Spanish authorities to confirm the condition of a second Romanian victim. Spanish media reported that a giant wave hit a natural pool on the west coast of Tenerife.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ukraine peace negotiations<br \/>\n<\/strong>The leaders of France, Germany and the United Kingdom are meeting in London with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, one day after he was again criticized by US President Donald Trump. French President Emmanuel Macron and German Chancellor Friedriech Merz reiterated their support for Ukraine amid fears that the United States might pressure Kyiv into accepting peace terms favorable to Russia, Reuters reports.<\/p>\n<p>So far, several rounds of US-Ukraine talks have taken place, as well as a meeting between Washington\u2019s envoys and Vladimir Putin. The parties say significant progress has been made, but CNN notes that the most delicate issues remain unresolved: Russia\u2019s demands for territorial concessions and Ukraine\u2019s requests for security guarantees.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Sweden, Finland and Ireland have urged other EU members to take swift measures so that Ukraine can benefit from the frozen Russian funds.
