Romanian Prime Minister responds to allies breaking apart: Will not resign

The largest party in the ruling coalition of Romania, the Social Democratic Party, announced on the 20th that it was withdrawing its political support for Prime Minister Borbangan. Borbangan himself issued a statement that evening, stating that he would not resign. According to Romanian media reports, after the Social Democrats voted to withdraw their support, the National Liberal Party, the second largest party in the ruling coalition alongside Borbangan's party, held a closed-door meeting. Borbangan issued a statement that evening through social media and live television, stating that he would continue to fulfill his duties as Prime Minister to ensure government stability, and criticized the Social Democrats for "only participating in decision-making, but cowardly avoiding decision-making responsibilities." Leaders of the National Liberal Party stated that the party would continue to support Borbangan.
