The Romanian parliament has approved a technocratic government. The country is at least temporarily out of the political crisis.

Romania's parliament has confirmed a new technocratic government led by former journalist and diplomat Luca Niculescu, ending at least the country's multi-month political crisis following the collapse of the previous coalition government in May. The new government, supported by 280 votes, consists mainly of technocrats and ministers from the largest leftist Social Democratic Party (PSD). Niculescu, who is not affiliated with any party, received backing from the center-right National Liberal Party (PNL) and the Hungarian minority party UDMR, though the far-right Alliance for the Unity of Romanians (AUR) opposed his appointment. Former Prime Minister Ion Bolojan stated that supporting Niculescu's government was necessary to prevent the collapse of public institutions and essential services. Political analysts predict ongoing tensions between PSD ministers and technocrats, with the new prime minister likely needing to act as a mediator.
