Romanian Liberal MEP Siegfried Muresan nominated as prime minister
Muresan has 10 days to win parliamentary support for a cabinet as Romania remains without a government after two failed nominations.
- On Thursday, Romanian President Nicusor Dan nominated MEP Siegfried Muresan to form a new government, seeking to end a four-month political stalemate.
- Romania's government collapsed in May after the Social Democrats withdrew support, triggering a no-confidence vote; President Dan previously failed to secure parliamentary approval for two other nominees.
- Muresan faces a 10-day deadline to present a cabinet, though his supporters currently muster only 190 of the 233 votes required for a parliamentary majority.
- Securing 11 billion euros in European Union recovery funds depends on passing a 2027 budget, as Fitch and Moody's warned that economic reforms are critical for maintaining Romania's investment-grade credit rating.
- Standard & Poor's scheduled a ratings review for October 2, while President Dan has not ruled out snap elections that analysts warn could benefit the opposition Alliance for the Union of Romanians.
