Romania names new PM
By EUobserver
Romanian president Kaus Iohannis named economy minister Mihai Tudose as prime minister on Monday. Tudose was picked by his social-democratic party to succeed Sorin Grindeanu, who lost a vote of confidence last week after falling out with party leader Liviu Dragnea. Iohannis, a centre-right politician, said the political crisis "harms the economy and Romania's image abroad".
