BUCHAREST (Reuters) – The government of new Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu won a parliamentary confidence vote on Thursday, broadcasters Antena3 and Digi reported, as the ruling coalition maintained a rotating premiership deal to stabilise policymaking as the country seeks EU recovery funds.
Ciolacu’s leftist Social Democrats and the centre-right Liberals agreed to rotate prime ministers when they formed a grand coalition government in late 2021, together with a junior ethnic Hungarian party which quit the cabinet this week in a row over posts.
The government was backed by 290 votes to 95 against.
