Romania's parliament rejects Vestea, prolonging 47-day government void

Adrian Vestea, nominated by President Nicusor Dan on 14 June, received 189 votes in the 465-seat legislature, 44 short of the 233 majority needed, after the far-right AUR walked out. The defeat extends a political vacuum that began when Ilie Bolojan's government fell on 5 May.
