PM consultations to continue in Romania until “solid pro-Western majority” emerges, president says

Romanian president Nicușor Dan said on Monday, May 18, that consultations with parliamentary parties on appointing a new prime minister will continue until a “solid pro-Western majority” capable of supporting a government is formed. The statement came after a full day of talks at the Cotroceni Palace, where Romania’s main political parties outlined conflicting positions on possible governing coalitions.

In a statement released after the consultations, president Dan said party delegations had presented their political conditions and willingness to participate in government or support a future cabinet.
