Romania President Threatens Parliament Dissolution, Snap Elections Over PM Deadlock

President Klaus Iohannis has set a Thursday deadline for parties to back PM-designate Ludovic Orban's government, warning he will dissolve parliament and call snap elections on Friday if no agreement is reached. The move escalates a political crisis stemming from the failure to form a government, with the outcome uncertain as parties weigh coalition options. Snap elections would reset the political landscape and could delay fiscal reforms.
