BUCHAREST - Romania’s centrist minority government survived a no-confidence motion in parliament on Monday, improving political stability as the country struggles to curb the coronavius epidemic that has pummeled its economy.
Parliamentary debates and a vote were canceled due to lack of a quorum, helping Prime Minister Ludovic Orban foil an attempt by Social Democrats to oust him, a move the opposition had hoped would boost its profile ahead of countrywide municipal elections on Sept. 27. “We can note now that there’s a majority that understood us and has backed us,” Orban added, after only 226 legislators out of the minimum required 233 needed to topple the government showed up in parliament on Monday.Asked by reporters if he would try to reschedule the vote, Social Democrat leader Marcel Ciolacu said: “There’s nothing to reschedule, it failed. We struggled to form a 233-seat parliament majority and we failed.
The Social Democrats remain Romania’s largest party but lost control of government late last year amid mass protests over the party’s repeated attempts to politicize the judiciary and the conviction of leader Liviu Dragnea on corruption charges.
