Support for second Romanian PM-designate Adrian Vestea turns increasingly uncertain

Romania’s prime minister-designate Adrian Vestea (PNL, yet not backed by his party) in the evening of June 17 announced that he would come up with a cabinet formed by representatives of the Social Democratic (PSD) and Liberal (PNL) parties as well as technocrats, will follow the ruling strategy of his predecessor Ilie Bolojan “down to the smallest detail,” and will be backed by “all those who are acting in good faith” – with no restriction for the far-right AUR party, according to News.ro.

Romania has had a caretaker government since interim prime minister Ilie Bolojan was dismissed by a no-confidence motion in Parliament, after the Social Democrats (PSD) pulled out of the ruling coalition to join far-right AUR against prime minister Bolojan.
