The President said that he will hold consultations with the parties represented in Parliament on Wednesday to establish a course of action.

President Iohannis said he is “deeply dissatisfied” with the ruling party ousting its second prime minister in a year and stressed there is a need for urgent measures so that the economy does not suffer from political instability.

Romanian Prime Minister Mihai Tudose announced he will step down on Monday evening after the ruling Social Democratic Party pulled its support for him. Tudose’s resignation comes after he accused Interior Minister Carmen Dan of lying and called on her to resign, yet she refused to quit. Dan is a close ally of party leader Liviu Dragnea.
