Members of Parliament in Romania have submitted a no-confidence motion against the government led by Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, escalating political tensions ahead of a key vote.
The motion was initiated by PSD, a governing party, together with opposition party AUR, and is also supported by S.O.S Romania representatives. It was read in Parliament and is scheduled for debate and vote on May 5.
The document accuses the government of economic mismanagement, declining living standards and a lack of transparency in implementing reforms, including measures linked to the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (PNRR).
Signatories also raised concerns over potential sales of strategic state assets and the use of accelerated procedures for investor access, warning these could bypass standard market mechanisms.
The outcome of the vote is expected to be a key test for the stability of the current government and could impact Romania’s near-term economic and investment outlook.
