Romania’s Top Coalition Party to Push for Prime Minister to Quit

The largest party in Romania’s ruling coalition is poised to withdraw support for Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan next week and demand his resignation, according to people familiar with the discussions, a move that would pitch the country into political crisis.

Internal talks indicate that most members of the Social Democratic party will back Bolojan’s ouster in a party vote on April 20, according to the people, who requested anonymity. They said the party wants to maintain the governing alliance but with another premier.
