Romanian Government falls as motion of no confidence passes in Parliament

The motion of no confidence initiated by the PSD led Romanian opposition passes with 261 votes, triggering the Liberal government of Ludovic Orban to fall. The motion needed just 233 votes to pass.

The minority cabinet of Ludovic Orban was instated in November 2019, receiving the support of a parliamentary majority thanks to an agreement with the Save Romania Union and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians in Romania, as well as other smaller parties, Business Review reads. Some commentators argue that the liberals accepted this outcome planning to trigger early parliamentary elections.
