Romanian PM-designate fails to win Parliamentary support

If two designated Prime Ministers fail to form a government within 60 days the President can dissolve Parliament, which could pave the way to early elections.
Romania’s Prime Minister-designate Dacian Ciolos failed on Wednesday to win Parliamentary support from lawmakers on a new Cabinet proposal, which risks prolonging an ongoing political crisis amid an acute surge of coronavirus cases.
After failing to rebuild a governing coalition after the Liberal-led government was ousted in a no-confidence vote in early October, centrist USR party leader Ciolos presented a new governing programme and a Cabinet made up of USR Ministers.
But Mr. Ciolos’ proposal for a minority government fell well short of the 234 votes it needed to pass. Most lawmakers abstained from voting or voted against it.
