Romania's Liberals Reject Tomac's Cabinet Bid, Denying Support From Parliament's No. 3 Force

1 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · Jun 11

Romania’s Liberal Party on Thursday formally refused to back premier-designate Eugen Tomac, handing his technocratic cabinet an early setback in parliament.
The rejection came after a week of talks meant to break a political deadlock, with Liberal leaders unanimously voting against support, lawmaker Alexandru Muraru said.
Tomac now faces a tougher path to assembling a majority after losing the support of parliament’s third-largest force.
Romania has been without a fully functioning government since May, raising the stakes for efforts to end the impasse.
