Romanian Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu announced his resignation after the governing coalition's candidate, Crin Antonescu, failed to advance in the presidential election rerun, finishing third. This has significant implications for the country's political landscape, particularly as Ciolacu had previously emphasized the importance of a united front with a common candidate to secure a victory. His resignation is viewed as a move to allow for a fresh start for the coalition amid a competitive election environment, especially with far-right candidates gaining traction.
