The Social Democratic Party and the Alliance for Uniting Romanians have submitted a no-confidence motion against the minority government of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. This move brings Romania closer to losing its prime minister, with the government potentially falling in early May.
Romania's largest party, the leftist Social Democrats, have unexpectedly joined forces with the far-right opposition in an attempt to bring down the pro-European administration. The Social Democrats previously served as the top ruling party before leaving the coalition government earlier this month.
The decision by the Social Democrats and the Alliance for Uniting Romanians to team up in a bid to topple the government has put the country's EU funding at risk.
