Romanian socialists and far right topple government

Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was ousted by a no-confidence vote on Tuesday. He criticized the motion as "false, cynical and artificial," stating that countries in crisis should consolidate governments instead of changing them.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD) played a key role in the vote after withdrawing from Bolojan's coalition due to dissatisfaction with austerity measures. The far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians, led by George Simion, is gaining support and has called for snap elections.

Simion maintains a close alignment with U.S.
