Romanian Police extradited Alexandru Bălan, a former high-ranking Moldovan intelligence officer, to Moldova on April 24 following a court decision. Bălan was investigated for attempted treason involving the transmission of state secrets to Belarusian intelligence services during meetings in Budapest between 2024-2025, with initial collaboration involving Russian intelligence. The case, coordinated under EUROJUST with support from Romania, Hungary, and Czech Republic authorities, resulted in an 18-month sentence from Chișinău courts.
The Romanian Social Democratic Party (PSD) and far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) have filed a no-confidence motion against the Ilie Bolojan government with 251 parliamentary signatures, exceeding the 233 votes needed for passage. The motion is scheduled for vote on May 5, 2026, and AUR leader George Simion indicated high confidence it will pass, citing voter demand for change and criticizing the government's taxation policies related to deficit reduction. The PM warned that political turmoil threatens investor confidence and Romania's ability to absorb EU funds.
