The party of ethnic Hungarians in Romania UDMR will not vote for the government its former partners formed, party president Kelemen Hunor announced on June 14 after negotiations with the former partners failed, Hotnews.ro reported.

This didn’t come as a surprise, as the two other ruling partners – the Social Democrats (PSD) and the Liberals (PNL) - had difficulty sharing the ministries among themselves.

UDMR was unwilling to accept the ministries left after the negotiations between the two senior parties and insisted on observing the initial arrangement sealed in 2021.

All the representatives appointed by UDMR among the ministries will resign, such as to make the official party exit from the ruling coalition.
