Romania’s coalition government survive no confidence vote

Romania’s coalition government led by PM Viorica Dancila survived a no confidence vote in the Parliament on Tuesday as the opposition only managed to gather 200 votes out of the 233 it needed.

The no confidence motion came after ruling party PSD came in second in the European Parliament election, with only 22.5 percent of the vote, which counted as a major blow to the party that got a score of 45 percent in the 2016 general election. Its coalition partner, ALDE, failed to even reach the 5 percent threshold required to have a representative in the European Parliament.
