Romania’s government has easily survived a parliamentary
no-confidence vote, three days after mass protests forced it to ditch a
controversial corruption decree.
161 lawmakers supported the motion, falling well short of the 233 votes, or 50 percent needed.
Romania’s ruling three party coalition abstained.
Ahead of the no confidence vote, Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu said
he hoped that the government could now ‘‘get back to work.’‘ following
its embarrasing U-turn.
“We now have a budget that will bring prosperity and development to
Romanians. We have all the necessary means to implement the governing
programme that Romanians voted for with a substantial majority in
December,” Grindeanu said.
