Romanian social democrats withdraw from talks on unity government
ROMANIA’S Social Democratic Party (PSD) has withdrawn from negotiations on forming a pro-EU coalition government.
The PSD won the most votes in December 1’s parliamentary elections and provides the current Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu. Its decision throws the formation of a pro-status quo unity government into jeopardy.
“You cannot build anything lasting with partners who are incapable of overcoming their own egos and ideological cliches,” Mr Ciolacu said of talks with three other parties aimed at shutting out the far right.
