The joint effort was launched April 28 when the leftist Social Democratic Party, or PSD, which withdrew from the coalition in late April, and the hard-right opposition Alliance for the Unity of Romanians party, or AUR, submitted the motion to Parliament. After a parliamentary debate, 281 lawmakers voted in favor and four voted against the motion. Lawmakers from Bolojan’s center-right National Liberal Party, or PNL, and coalition partners Save Romania Union party and the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party did not cast votes.
