Romania's main centre-left party, the Social Democratic Party (PSD), has forged an unlikely alliance with the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) to back a censure motion against Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's liberal government, with a parliamentary vote scheduled for Tuesday 5 May. Together the two parties command around 219 of the 233 votes needed to pass the motion, and analysts say the outcome will hinge on smaller parliamentary groups. If the government falls, Romania's newly elected president Nicușor Dan would be required to nominate a new prime minister — a potentially pivotal moment for a country that must implement a series of EU-mandated reforms by August to unlock €11 billion in European funds.
