New prime minister-designate Adrian Veștea said he is confident his proposed government will secure parliamentary approval, claiming he has assurances of support from more than 240 lawmakers. The Liberal politician also pledged to keep unchanged the governing program adopted by former prime minister Ilie Bolojan and the coalition that governed until last month.
President Nicușor Dan nominated Veștea on Sunday morning, June 14, after presidential adviser Eugen Tomac returned his mandate to form a technocratic government, having failed to secure sufficient support from parliamentary parties. Tomac's proposed cabinet faced opposition from the National Liberal Party (PNL), while both the Save Romania Union (USR) and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR) expressed doubts that a government lacking a clear political majority could carry out reforms.
