Romania’s Liberals decide to move into opposition after government falls Romania’s Liberal-led government collapsed Tuesday, May 5, after losing a no-confidence vote in Parliament, prompting the National Liberal Party (PNL) to announce it will move into opposition. The party accused the Social Democratic Party (PSD) of triggering the political crisis and said the Social Democrats should now take responsibility for forming a new executive. The government of Liberal prime minister Ilie Bolojan was dismissed after the no-confidence motion gathered 281 votes in favor, well above the 233 required.
