Romanian govt falls in no-confidence vote
None
Romania's government fell Friday in a no-confidence vote, as opposition parties seized on widespread public anger over biting austerity measures, cronyism and corruption. Some 235 lawmakers voted against the government of Prime Minister Mihai Razvan Ungureanu, four more votes than needed.
Opposition leader Victor Ponta said the vote represented the end "of an abusive system that uses any weapon possible." President Traian Basescu will nominate a new prime minister who will then need to present a governing program to Parliament for approval. (AP)
