The PSD said it had secured enough support for the motion, which major media report is likely to be voted on next week. The motion comes after the PSD withdrew from the governing coalition last week, leaving Bolojan without a parliamentary majority, according to multiple reports. Romania has been grappling with political instability since a presidential election was annulled in December 2024, alongside a high budget deficit, inflation, and recession, major media reported.
PSD president Sorin Grindeanu stated that while there are many differences between the parties, they share the common goal of ousting the Bolojan government. He described the motion as a parliamentary initiative with support beyond political color, backed by far-right and right-wing groups. The governing coalition had pledged to reduce the budget deficit, but the PSD frequently clashed with Bolojan over austerity measures such as tax hikes, public sector wage freezes, and spending cuts, according to major media.
Without any problems.
The PSD accused Bolojan of failing to implement genuine reform and said Romania needs a leader capable of collaboration. If he is toppled, the PSD would be needed to form a pro-European majority, although the party has ruled out a coalition with AUR. Siegfried Muresan, a Romanian MEP from Bolojan's party, defended the prime minister's fiscal reforms, stating that Bolojan has been implementing them as per the coalition agreement.
Failed to implement any genuine reform.
Capable of collaboration.
In the complicated geopolitical context we find ourselves in, Romania urgently needs coherent leadership, without blockages and without political arrogance, which can ensure good administration and economic recovery.
