00:00Romanian President Nicus Ordan nominated career politician Andrian Vestea, leader of the National
00:05Liberal Party and former development minister, to be the country's new Prime Minister on
00:09Sunday, seeking to end a deep political crisis.
00:13Nomination at the Cotrasseni Palace came after Dan's previous pick this month, Eugen Tomac,
00:19withdrew his candidacy following his failure to secure sufficient political support to
00:23form a cabinet within 10 days.
00:35The political turmoil dates back to May, when a no-confidence motion toppled the previous
00:41Prime Minister after the Social Democratic Party quit the ruling coalition.
00:45The incoming administration faces severe economic challenges, with Romania currently experiencing
00:51a technical recession, rampant inflation, and one of the highest budget deficits in the
00:56European Union.
