Romania's PM Orban resigns after slim election loss, interim leader sworn in to build coalition
Romanian Prime Minister Ludovic Orban has resigned following an unexpected - and narrow - election defeat after a tightly-fought campaign. President Klaus Iohannis has been sworn in as interim PM until a new government is formed.
Orban, leader of the National Liberal Party (PNL), announced his resignation on TV after the Social Democrats (PSD) emerged from Sunday's elections with 30 percent of the ballot to the PNL's 26 percent, after 95 percent of votes had been counted.
Iohannis said on Monday that he would not ask the PSD to put together a new government, despite the party's nominal win at the elections. Instead, it's expected that Iohannis will call on the second-place PNL party, which he used to lead, to form a coalition with the centrist Save Romania Union (USR PLUS alliance), which took 16 percent of the vote.
Deals will now have to be made to determine control of Romania's 465-seat bicameral parliament, although Orban vowed on Monday never to negotiate with the PSD, a pledge matched by the USR PLUS alliance.
The PNL and USR PLUS alliance could form a government with the UDMR party (six percent) representing the Hungarian minority, one of only two remaining parties, which secured above the five percent threshold needed to enter parliament.
The only other party is the recently-created far-right nationalist AUR alliance, which took nine percent of the vote.
The number of eligible votes cast at the December 6 ballot was 5,561,331, representing a voter turnout of 30 percent.

Documents obtained by OCCRP partner RISE Romania show that B.S.G. Business Select SRL secured a no-bid deal worth over 800,000 euros to supply the masks and nearly 26,000 protective suits to Romania's strategic state healthcare supplier, Unifarm, which distributed them to health facilities across Romania.
B.S.G. was originally set up to sell alternative health remedies. But in March, a majority stake was purchased by Simona Ciulavu, who worked under Prime Minister Orban when he was the transport minister, and has business ties to another former politician, Robert Constantin Ionescu.
B.S.G. purchased the protective equipment from a Turkish supplier for a total of 614,400 euros (US$665,395) on March 18. A day later, it sold them to Unifarm for 865,752 euros ($928,963), a quick profit of over 40 percent, according to Unifarm's own public statements.
..
Corporate records show that Ciulavu acquired a 60 percent stake in B.S.G. Business Select on March 11 - the same day the World Health Organization declared coronavirus a global pandemic.
..
B.S.G. Business Select registered with the Romanian state for VAT purposes just five days after Ciulavu became its majority shareholder. Three days later, it delivered the masks to Unifarm.
Its supplier was an Istanbul-based firm that produces clothes and medical textiles. Co-owner Ulku Farimaz Guler confirmed to OCCRP, through a Romanian-speaking employee, that her company had sold the million masks to B.S.G. through another Turkish exporter linked to her business, after receiving a call from "a lady" in Romania. She declined to elaborate on who this buyer was, or provide other information about the deal.
…
Ciulavu has a colorful background.
She previously worked at Bucharest City Hall when Orban, who is now prime minister, served as the capital's deputy mayor. In 2008, the year after Orban became Romania's transport minister, Ciulavu moved to his ministry, taking a job as a financial specialist in a department that handled European funds.
But she lost that job in 2009 after local media revealed that she had been arrested several years earlier, while working as a government economist, for paying members of a notoriously violent gang known as "the Sportsmen" to push a licensed minibus taxi service out of its commuter route so she could take over.
At Ciulavu's behest, gang members issued death threats to the taxi operators and even beat a driver so severely that he was hospitalized and needed two weeks of constant medical assistance, according to court documents.
…
On March 19, the same day that B.S.G.'s shipment was delivered to Unifarm, former Bucharest Deputy Mayor Robert Constantin Ionescu took to Facebook to claim credit for the deal - and personally thanked Prime Minister Orban for facilitating it.
Later that night he added more details to his initial post: "Today, I managed to bring from Turkey to Romania (Through BSG Business and Akyle Security), the first shipment of 1,000,000 masks - and suits against Coronavirus!" Ionescu wrote. "Thanks for the absolute support, to the Prime Minister Ludovic Orban and to the General Director of UNIFARM, Adrian Ionel !!!"
..
Ionescu has other links to Ciulavu. Corporate filings show his own company, Akyle Security, which has lucrative contracts providing private security services to multiple state companies and public institutions, is co-owned by Ciulavu's sister and the 80-year-old father of Ciulavu's boyfriend.
That boyfriend, Petru "Pepi" Pitcovici, was an official at Romania's Anti-Corruption General Directorate, but lost that job after being accused of corruption himself. He was handed a two-year suspended sentence in 2017 for helping deliver a bribe (three liters of whiskey and a bottle of the local spirit palinca) to a policeman in return for dropping a criminal case.

Hunter being tied in to CGN, was it possible that CGN got a deal with Romania because of the VP?

Romanian lawmakers reinstate PM Orban amid coronavirus fears
Romanian lawmakers have asked quarantined Prime Minister Ludovic Orban to form a government as the coronavirus spreads throughout the country. The PM had lost a vote of confidence last month.
Romania's centrist prime minister Ludovic Orban won a parliamentary vote of confidence with near-unanimous support on Saturday, ending weeks of political stalemate as lawmakers scramble to address the growing COVID-19 crisis.
"It's been 286 votes for the government out of 309 cast ballots and 23 MPs voted against it," a senior ruling party deputy told reporters.
The vote restores Orban's full powers to govern as the deadly infection spreads throughout the EU country. The number of coronavirus cases in Romania rose to 102 on Saturday, though no fatalities have been reported there.
Vote of no-confidence reversed

Opposition leader of the National Liberal Party Ludovic Orban filed the complaint against our Romanian PM D?ncil? for high treason because they went in an official meeting in Israel, in regards to moving the Romanian Embassy to Jerusalem. Today the official investigation has begun…it's absolutely crazy the length liberals and soros clowns will go to in order to gain illegitimate power.
