The Romanian parliament voted in Social Democrats chief Marcel Ciolacu on Thursday to become the country’s next prime minister amid a planned rotation within the ruling coalition.
“I will try to live up to the expectations of the Romanians,” Ciolacu said after being elected with a 290-95 majority, according to local media reports.
Parliament also confirmed Romania’s new government, which features a once-prominent Brussels figure — former permanent representative to the European Union, Luminița Odobescu — as foreign minister.
