| Romania government falls after power struggle |
| 2017-06-22 |
| [Iran Press TV] Romania's government fell Wednesday after the ruling party took the unusual step of passing a no-confidence vote in its own prime minister following internal power struggles. The left-wing Social Democrat party (PSD) filed the motion against premier Sorin Grindeanu barely six months after winning an election. The PSD unexpectedly withdrew its support for Grindeanu on June 14, accusing him of "delays" in implementing reforms in the European Union's second-poorest country. Grindeanu however refused to resign and denounced powerful PSD boss Liviu Dragnea for seeking to "concentrate all the power in his hands". |
