Romanian prime minister Ilie Bolojan is set to face a no-confidence motion on Tuesday, May 5. If the motion signed by 251 members of Parliament is successful, he would be the seventh prime minister after the 1989 anti-communist Revolution to be dismissed through this governmental procedure.
Bolojan is the 72nd prime minister in Romania’s history, and has governed Romania for 10 months, or around 320 days. The no-confidence motion was submitted jointly by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the nationalist party AUR (Alliance for the Union of Romanians), after the former left the centrist government coalition.
