President Nicușor Dan called for calm after the collapse of the Liberal-led governmenton Tuesday, May 5, saying Romania remains a stable state and ruling out the possibility of early elections. He also announced the start of informal consultations with political parties to form a new pro-Western government “within a reasonable timeframe.”
