Romanian PM Ilie Bolojan vows to stay in office after Social Democrats withdraw support

Update: Prime minister Ilie Bolojan, who also leads the National Liberal Party (PNL), said on Tuesday that his party will begin talks with political groups supporting the current government - namely the Save Romania Union (USR), the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians (UDMR), and the parliamentary group of national minorities - to determine how a minority government could function, Agerpres reported. He added that he will propose a parliamentary moratorium to ensure key projects tied to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan are adopted regardless of political affiliation.

The National Political Bureau and Parliamentary Groups of the PNL unanimously adopted a resolution on Tuesday expressing strong support for the continuation of the government under PM Ilie Bolojan and for the completion of the agreed reforms.
