This week in Romania
This week in Romania saw a wave of corruption probes, with Constanța prosecutors Gigi Ștefan and Teodor Niță, and Customs Chief Mihai Savin, detained or placed under judicial control for alleged offenses. These investigations intensified political tensions, prompting the Social Democratic Party (PSD) to demand interim Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan's resignation and the National Liberal Party (PNL) to reject a technocratic premier. Amidst these developments, economic concerns over inflation and rental prices, along with warnings about defense investment shortfalls and judicial hiring blockages, also featured prominently.
