Romanian PM Bolojan out by December 31?

Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan is expected to be out of office by the end of the year as pressure builds on his government from coalition tensions, policy disputes and growing demands for a political reset in Bucharest. Any formal resignation or removal announcement would immediately signal the start of a transition and set off negotiations over who will lead the government next.

Bolojan’s departure would mark another turn in Romania’s unsettled political landscape, where governing alliances have often been tested by budget disputes, reform efforts and competing party interests. If he steps aside or is forced out before Dec. 31, the move would likely trigger a scramble among senior coalition figures and opposition leaders as Romania prepares for the next phase of its political cycle.
