Guvernul Luca Niculescu a fost votat de Parlament. România are un nou premier după aproape șase luni de criză politică. Rezultat: 280 de voturi pentru și 58 împotrivă

On October 20, 2026, Luca Niculescu's government received a vote of confidence from Parliament, ending a six-month political crisis in Romania. The new cabinet, comprising PSD and independent ministers, secured 280 votes in favor and 58 against, surpassing the required 233 votes. This marks the longest governmental crisis since the 1989 Revolution, following the dismissal of Ilie Bolojan's government on May 5, 2026. Niculescu, a former ambassador, is the fourth politician appointed by President Nicușor Dan during this crisis. The cabinet includes key figures such as Marian Neacșu and Alexandru Nazare. Despite not joining the government, PNL and UDMR supported the vote. The new government faces economic challenges, including a high budget deficit and the need for fiscal reforms. Its governance program includes commitments to pension indexing and infrastructure projects, with a focus on finding funding sources amidst ongoing budgetary constraints.
