USR in the spotlight as Romania faces a government collapse after a confidence vote—third-largest party pushing for reforms while austerity bites. Liberal, pro-EU, pro-anticorruption.
Romania's pro‑European coalition has collapsed after the Social Democrats (PSD) joined the far‑right AUR to pass a no‑confidence motion that has removed Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan. The motion has received 281 votes in the 464‑seat parliament; PNL, USR and UDMR deputies have abstained from voting.
