Rule Changes

Lost September 30 confidence vote; cabinet rejected

Luca Niculescu's minority government took office on October 20, when Parliament backed his cabinet 280-58 and ended 168 days of interim rule. The Social Democrats hold 11 of the 18 cabinet posts; the National Liberal Party and the ethnic Hungarian UDMR agreed to support the government for a few months without joining it.
