Romania's pro-European government falls after parliament passes no-confidence vote 281-4

Romanian Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan lost a no-confidence vote on Tuesday, with 281 of 464 parliamentarians voting to remove him. The motion was jointly submitted by the left-wing Social Democratic Party and the hard-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians. President Nicusor Dan is now expected to negotiate a new coalition, with elections not due until 2028.
