The Romanian president appointed a new prime minister

News2 min čitanja

Romanian President Nicușor Dan on Thursday nominated European Parliament member Eugen Tomac as prime minister in an attempt to resolve the political crisis.

The move came a month after the government of pro-European reformist Ilie Bolojan was toppled by a parliamentary vote of no confidence.

Tomac, a politician from the conservative People’s Movement Party (PMP), which is not represented in the Romanian parliament, is also an unpaid adviser to Dan.

If approved by parliament, he will lead a government made up mostly of technocrats.

Tomac said that he will present a “technical, not political” government to the deputies.

The opposition Social Democratic Party (PSD), the largest political force in parliament, had already signaled its support for Tomac before the nomination.

George Simion, leader of the far-right opposition Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR), the second largest parliamentary group, said, however, that his party would not vote for Tomac under any circumstances.

PSD and AUR joined forces on May 5 to topple Bolojan’s government, which had been in power since June 2025.

The PSD, which ruled alongside Bolojan until April 23, accused him of not sufficiently coordinating his reform program with coalition partners.

Announcing the nomination, President Dan emphasized Tomac’s readiness for dialogue with the parties, reports dpa.
