  • BUCHAREST (Reuters) -Romania's pro-European parties reached a firm commitment late on Tuesday to form a governing majority that cordons off the hard right and potentially endorses a single candidate for a re-run of the country's annulled presidential election.

The article from MSN discusses the political developments in Romania where the center-right National Liberal Party (PNL) and the center-left Social Democratic Party (PSD), along with the ethnic Hungarian UDMR, have agreed to form a broad coalition government following the recent elections. This coalition aims to ensure political stability and continue Romania's pro-European path. The agreement was reached to quickly establish a government, with the PNL leader Nicolae Ciuca and PSD leader Marcel Ciolacu set to share the premiership, alternating every year and a half. This move comes after the elections where no single party secured a clear majority, highlighting the necessity for cooperation to address Romania's economic recovery, EU integration, and other national issues. The coalition's formation is seen as a step towards maintaining Romania's alignment with European values and policies.
