Romania: UDMR signs coalition pact with PM-designate Niculescu

The Hungarian Democratic Union of Romania (UDMR) signed a political agreement with designated Prime Minister Luca Niculescu, pledging support for the government's investiture in exchange for minority rights guarantees and Hungarian-language education. This formalizes UDMR's entry into the ruling coalition, a shift from its prior opposition stance, and secures the parliamentary majority needed for the new government.
