Romanian PM Ilie Bolojan’s government falls after losing no-confidence vote The Romanian government, headed by Liberal (PNL) prime minister Ilie Bolojan, has collapsed after losing a no-confidence vote in Parliament on Tuesday, May 5. The motion gathered 281 votes in favor, well above the 233 votes required.  The government will now continue in an interim capacity, with limited powers, until a new executive is formed. The Ilie Bolojan government came to power roughly 10 months ago , backed by a so-called pro-European ruling coalition made up of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), PNL, Save Romania Union (USR), and the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania (UDMR), amid a rise of the far-right side in Romania.
