Government crisis in Romania

On G4Media.ro, journalist Dan Tăpălagă is not surprised to see the Social Democrats turning their backs on the government’s reform agenda:

“The previous government of PSD and PNL left behind a country mired in debt and at the same time blocked all the painful but necessary reform measures. … Now the PSD is again sabotaging the move away from a consumer-based economic model financed by foreign debt. This model, which amounts to bankruptcy, is the one on which all PSD governments of recent years have built their political success: enjoying themselves at the expense of others.”
