Romanian President Nicusor Dan nominates Siegfried Muresan as prime minister
Romanian President Nicusor Dan has nominated Siegfried Muresan as prime minister to end a political crisis. Muresan, a member of the European Parliament and the National Liberal Party, is Dan's third nominee after previous attempts failed. The government was dismissed four months ago following a no-confidence vote against Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. Muresan has 10 days to present a cabinet to Parliament. Opposition leader Sorin Grindeanu has expressed disappointment with the nomination.
The previous coalition came to power in June 2025 with the aim of reducing the budget deficit, but collapsed over opposition to austerity measures. Romania faces significant challenges as it seeks stability.
