Romania's parliament passed a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan on May 5, receiving 281 votes in favor — well above the 233 required. The motion was recorded as the highest-voted censure motion in Romanian parliamentary history.

The motion was filed jointly by the Social Democratic Party and the Alliance for the Union of Romanians. Bolojan's coalition partners — the National Liberal Party, Save Romania Union and the Democratic Union of Hungarians in Romania — chose to abstain rather than vote against it.

Bolojan's four-party coalition was formed in June 2025 and inherited Romania's budget deficit of 9.3% of GDP in 2024, the highest in the EU. The government pursued austerity measures including tax hikes, public sector wage and pension freezes, and cuts to public spending.

The Social Democrats voted 97.7% in favor of withdrawing support for Bolojan on April 21, and PSD ministers resigned from the government on April 23. The party then joined with the Alliance for the Union of Romanians to file the no-confidence motion.

Romania must complete key reforms by August to unlock around €11 billion in EU recovery funds, and risks a credit rating downgrade if its public finances are not stabilized. The country's leu currency fell to a record low against the euro ahead of the vote.

Following the vote, the dismissed cabinet will continue in a caretaker capacity with limited powers until a new government is formed. President Nicusor Dan is expected to consult parliamentary parties and nominate a new prime minister, with snap elections considered unlikely before 2028.
