Bucharest [Romania], July 8: New Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan has tied a vote of confidence in parliament to a stringent austerity programme just two weeks after taking office.
If no faction submits a motion of no confidence within three days, Bolojan's programme will be considered adopted without further voting.
Should a motion of no confidence be submitted and accepted by a parliamentary majority, the conservative prime minister will be deemed ousted and his programme rejected.
The far-right Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) faction has hinted at submitting a motion of no confidence but would need votes from potential defectors within the ruling camp to secure a majority. (DPA)
