Summary/Abstract: On 5 October, the minority government of the National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Democratic Alliance of Hungarians (UDMR) of Prime Minister Florin Ciţu, received a vote of no confidence. The appointment of a new stable government is uncertain. This political crisis has weakened Romania’s capabilities to tackle COVID-19 and could hamper the implementation of the Next Generation EU recovery plan. The prospect of a series of unstable governments will hinder the structural reforms on which Romanian membership in the Schengen area depends, as well as cooperation with foreign partners.
