Rule Changes

PSD joined the Niculescu government after the October 20 vote; the party will reassess its support in six months.

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.
