The Social Democratic Party (PSD) has seen its government ministers resign following a routine cabinet meeting that they did not attend. The PSD issued a press release stating that the resignations formalize the party’s decision to withdraw its political support from Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. According to the statement, Bolojan no longer possesses the parliamentary majority required for democratic legitimacy in leading the Romanian government.
The party framed this action not as an abandonment of governmental duty, but as a necessary catalyst for change demanded by a substantial portion of the citizenry. The PSD cited economic pressures, including recession, inflation, and a downturn in consumption and production, as justification for the shift. Looking ahead, the PSD indicated its readiness to provide support for the formation of a new, pro-European government.
They affirmed their willingness to back a prime minister, whether political or technocratic, provided that individual addresses citizen concerns and can cooperate with the parties holding a parliamentary majority. For the interim period before a new administration is established, the PSD pledged to maintain parliamentary support for passing legislation necessary for projects funded by the European Union. The outgoing ministers will continue their official duties until the legal procedure concludes with the publication of a presidential decree.
During this transition, they will forgo participation in government meetings, delegating their representation instead to state secretaries appointed by other parties within the ruling coalition.
