Is Romania’s pro-Western future under question? | News in Depth

Romanian lawmakers toppled the pro-EU government of Ilie Bolojan. This new development could potentially put at risk the country's sovereign debt ratings, its access to EU funds, and the stability of its currency.

“The current outgoing government (…) was a product of a crisis already,” explains TVP World’s Europe Editor, Marcin Zaborowski, pointing to long-standing political instability, the annulled presidential election, and the growing strength of Euroskeptic forces as key drivers behind the government’s collapse.

Join our guest and his host, Klaudia Czerwińska, as they probe the central questions shaping Romania’s future: can a new pro-EU coalition be formed? Will the unpopular austerity measures necessary to keep the flow of EU funds stay in place? And could political change in Bucharest affect continued aid to Ukraine?

Turning to the war, the interview also examines Moscow’s proposed truce, with Zaborowski noting that “Ukrainians are seeing the filing for a ceasefire during the parade as a sign of Russian weakness.”

Will the truce hold? And what about the latest package of sanctions imposed on Russia by the U.K.? Already under numerous sanctions, the Kremlin may not be impressed with London’s move. But the same may not be true for Russian oligarchs, who are losing access to their beloved “Londongrad” and their money in London’s City.
