The motion needed 233 votes to topple Dancila’s government but only got 161.
The motion gained fewer votes than the number of signatures it had when it was filed last Friday. Opposition parties announced at the time that they had gathered 163 signatures in support of the initiative.
The motion was read out again and debated upon in Parliament on Thursday, with the vote being secret.
This is the second time a no-confidence motion against the Dancila Government has been rejected, after a similar attempt failed in June this year.
