Romania's Social Democrats propose their own leader as prime minister in bid to avert snap election

Romania's largest parliamentary party, the leftist Social Democrats, has nominated their leader Sorin Grindeanu for prime minister in a bid to form a new government and avoid a snap election following the collapse of a pro-European coalition last month. This move is crucial as it could stabilize Romania's political landscape and prevent potential economic disruptions that a new election might bring. The nomination highlights the party's internal dynamics and its strategy to maintain power amidst political turbulence.
