Romania’s beleaguered left-wing government was on Thursday toppled by the country’s parliament in a no-confidence vote, paving the way for President Klaus Iohannis to appoint a new Prime Minister.
Prime Minister Viorica Dancila and members of her cabinet were removed by a non-confidence vote of a total of 238 lawmakers in the 465-seat Romanian Parliament.
“The motion is adopted. The parliament revokes its confidence in the government,” the Speaker of the country’s parliament, Marcel Ciolacu said.
Dancila had been fighting for her political survival since her Social Democrats (PSD) lost their junior coalition partner’s support in August this year.
