Romanian Government Loses Majority

All USR PLUS ministers are set to submit their resignations from the Romanian government on Tuesday, meaning the government will lose its majority in parliament, Euractiv.com reports.

The party is nevertheless insisting it would like to remain in the coalition with PNL and UDMR, but with a different prime minister, because USR PLUS no longer wants to continue working with Prime Minister Florin Citu.

Afther Prime Minister Citu dismissed Justice Minister Stelian Ion, USR PLUS filed a censure motion against the government Friday, with the help of nationalist party AUR. However, no date has yet been set by parliament to debate or vote on the motion.
