Excerpt:
Romania’s leftist Social Democratic Party on Thursday withdrew from negotiations to form a pro-European coalition government, extending political turmoil that has gripped the European Union country after a top court annulled a presidential election .
Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu of the PSD, which won the most votes in the parliamentary election on Dec. 1 , said his party was abandoning negotiations with three traditional parties after a fraught negotiation process failed.
“We will vote in Parliament for a right-wing government,” he said in a Facebook post. “We are doing this because this country urgently needs a government to manage current issues until the upcoming presidential elections.”
