Romania enters fourth month without full government after PM nominations fail

Romania has been without a fully empowered government since May 5, 2026, when a censure motion ousted PM Ilie Bolojan. President Nicușor Dan's two PM nominees—Eugen Tomac and Adrian Veștea—failed to secure parliamentary approval, and no new nomination has been made since June 22. The prolonged political vacuum raises governance and economic uncertainty, with parties backing their own candidates.
