  • By Iulian Ernst in Bucharest The coalition formed by the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and National Liberal Party (PNL) has been endorsed by lawmakers with 240 votes in favour, seven more than needed.

The article from MSN discusses the recent elections in Romania where the ruling coalition, consisting of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) and the National Liberal Party (PNL), managed to retain power despite facing significant challenges.
