BUCHAREST: Romania’s president named on Wednesday European Parliament lawmaker Viorica Dancila as the EU country’s third prime minister in seven months, and also its first female premier. Late Monday her predecessor Mihai Tudose resigned after a power struggle with the head of the ruling Social Democrats (PSD), Liviu Dragnea. Dancila, 54, who is seen as close to Dragnea, still has to be approved by parliament but this is seen as a formality with the PSD-led government enjoying a majority of seats. Tudose was the second PSD-appointed premier to go after his predecessor Sorin Grindeanu’s government was torpedoed by the party filing a no-confidence motion last June.
