Romanian president prepares to promote PM with diffuse support in Parliament

Nearly a month since the government of prime minister Ilie Bolojan was dismissed by a no-confidence motion initiated by an alliance formed by former coalition member PSD and far-right opposition party AUR, president Nicusor Dan is expected to come up with a prime minister designation in the coming days, amid a lack of visible parliamentary majority other than that at the origin of the political crisis.

President Dan is most likely to nominate his advisor Eugen Tomac – president of a political vehicle with no representatives in the Parliament – to form a cabinet of technocrats with still uncertain political support in the legislative.
