Cikk tartalma röviden

Romania's President Klaus Iohannis nominated Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu to form a new pro-European coalition government after a top court annulled a presidential election. This decision aims to address the political crisis and counter the rise of far-right nationalists. Ciolacu acknowledged the challenges ahead, emphasizing the need to regain citizens' trust. The coalition is expected to include the PSD, PNL, UDMR, and national minorities, with plans for a common candidate in the upcoming presidential rerun.
