Chuca stressed that he resigned as part of an agreement by the ruling coalition, whose aim was to ensure stability.
Romanian Prime Minister Nicolae Chuca resigned on Monday, June 12, after weeks of teacher protests. This was reported by Reuters.
Chuca said he resigned as part of a ruling coalition deal aimed at bringing stability, but delayed EU funds for economic recovery.
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis is expected to nominate Social Democratic Party leader Marcel Colaca as the next prime minister, with a parliamentary vote on his candidacy scheduled for next week.
“Our goal is this: the new government must be sworn in before Thursday,” Chuca said.
According to Colaku, the current coalition will work even after the general election in 2024. Today the three coalition parties are still negotiating key positions in the new government.
However, the new cabinet could face turmoil over wage demands, as well as pressure to implement deferred economic reforms agreed with the European Commission in exchange for economic recovery funds.
Romania must reduce its budget deficit to the 3% level set by the EU by 2024, when the country will hold presidential, general, local and European elections.
It was previously reported that the Bulgarian Parliament approved on Tuesday, June 6, the composition of the new government.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has stepped down as a Member of Parliament.
