Romania's President Nominates Bolojan as Prime Minister
Romania's president, Nicusor Dan, has chosen Ilie Bolojan, who leads the Liberal Party, to be the new prime minister.
This decision comes after several weeks of discussions to form a government that can work together.
The main goal of this new government is to tackle Romania's budget deficit, which is the biggest in the European Union, and to avoid a downgrade on the country's economic outlook.
The government will likely include multiple political parties to make sure they have enough support to pass laws.
Bolojan will discuss with the parties how to lower spending, postpone investments, and increase taxes.
