Update:  Romanian president Nicușor Dan said Tuesday, May 12, that there are relatively few viable options for forming a government backed by a parliamentary majority and that a technocratic prime minister “is a scenario with chances," Agerpres reported. He also stated that he will ask all parties during upcoming consultations whether they already have a negotiated parliamentary majority before proposing a prime minister, adding that he does not want “experiments” with candidates who may fail to secure support in Parliament. The president also confirmed he has possible technocratic candidates in mind but said he will only advance names once a majority formula is agreed upon.
