President Klaus Iohannis announced on Tuesday having appointed incumbent Minister of Defence Mihai Fifor as acting Prime Minister following Mihai Tudose's stepping down from office.
"Premier Tudose tendered his resignation to me and I accepted it. (...) After Prime Minister Tudose's stepping down, I appointed Minister Fifor as acting head of the government, and seeking an as fast as possible procedure I did everything in my power to this effect and decided to call consultations with the parliamentary parties tomorrow, on Wednesday. I will send right away the invitations to consultations," the President said at the Cotroceni Palace.
He mentioned that he is deeply dissatisfied and concerned with the current situation.
"One year after election we already have two failed PSD governments. Now, we obviously need a government to cut short uncertainty. I want us to go through a speedy procedure to establish a new ruling lineup because this political uncertainty must not degenerate into political instability and, more importantly, I want to prevent the possible negative economic consequences of this crisis that set off anew inside the Social Democratic Party," the head of state said.
According to Art. 107 Para 3 of the Constitution, "...the President of Romania shall appoint another member of the government as acting Prime Minister, tasked with fulfilling the relevant responsibilities until a new government is formed." The term as interim can be of maximum 45 days.
