Biggest party in Romanian coalition set to demand PM's resignation, political crisis looms

Romania’s Social Democrats are widely expected ​to withdraw their support for Liberal Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan on ⁠Monday (April 20, 2026), likely ushering in months of political instability that will pressure debt, credit ratings and the receipt of EU funds.

Mr. Bolojan’s coalition government of four pro-European parties came together 10 months ago ‌after a polarizing presidential election in an attempt to keep the surging far right from power but they have constantly clashed over reform measures.
