form a government with a coalition involving three parties.The country&#8217;s president Nicusor Dan nominated Muresan after consultations with political parties. Muresan now has 10 days to present a cabinet to parliament and seek a vote of confidence.Muresan, who is a member of the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL) and the European Parliament, says he will try to form a government with the PNL, the Save Romania Union (USR) and the ethnic Hungarian UDMR party.These three parties do not currently have a parliamentary majority, meaning Muresan will need support from other politicians for his proposed government to pass.He told reporters at a news conference that his coalition would pursue a \u201cpro-European and forward-looking\u201d programme.Under Romania\u2019s constitution, the president can dissolve parliament if it rejects two proposed governments within 60 days of the first rejection, which could trigger fresh elections.The previous government, led by Ilie Bolojan, collapsed after a no-confidence vote following tensions over austerity measures and efforts to reduce Romania\u2019s large budget deficit.<\/div>\n<p>[analyse_source url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.euronews.com\/my-europe\/2026\/09\/18\/three-parties-to-attempt-to-form-new-cabinet-following-romanian-election&#8221;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[analyse_image type=&#8221;featured&#8221; src=&#8221;https:\/\/images.euronews.com\/articles\/stories\/09\/91\/91\/45\/1200x675_cmsv2_0152864d-08c1-56e4-8c25-2fa2ebc2478f-9919145.jpg&#8221;] Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin | September 18th, 2026 \u2013 Evening Philippines Three dead in Philippines school shooting Culture news Shakira launches 12-concert Madrid run to close world tour after 8-year absence Business easyJet cabin crew in Portugal plan October and December strikes Top News Stories Today Latest news bulletin [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[90],"tags":[226,36],"class_list":["post-2151417","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-international","tag-crawlmanager","tag-euronews-com"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2151417","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2151417"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2151417\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2151417"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2151417"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/analyse.optim.biz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2151417"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
