Romanian president nominates Liberal Party VP as PM after Eugen Tomac gives up mandate

President Nicușor Dan has nominated Adrian Veștea(pictured right), the president of Brașov County Council and the vice-president of the National Liberal Party (PNL), for the prime minister job after Eugen Tomac gave up his mandate to form a government.

Dan called the nomination “the best political solution,” one taken following consultations with the political parties. He thanked Tomac for taking on the task of forming a government and said neither him, nor Tomac “treated governing like a game.”
