Romania

Romanian President Nicușor Dan has designated Adrian Veștea as the new prime minister following the resignation of Eugen Tomac. PNL leader Ilie Bolojan condemned the move as a hostile act intended to fracture the National Liberal Party.

Key points

  • Eugen Tomac resigned his mandate on June 14, 2026, before seeking a parliamentary vote of investiture.
  • Ilie Bolojan stated that neither he nor the PNL leadership were consulted by the President regarding the selection of Adrian Veștea.
  • The PNL plans to convene a National Political Bureau meeting to determine an official party response.
  • The political crisis follows the collapse of the government led by Ilie Bolojan on May 6, 2026, after a motion of no confidence.

Why it matters

The appointment has triggered a significant internal conflict within the PNL and strained relations between the party leadership and the presidency during a period of political instability.
