schema:articleBody	Plans by Romania's liberals to force a snap election were blocked by both parliament and the Constitutional Court Monday, prolonging the political crisis there. The minority government led by Ludovic Orban, chief of the centre-right National Liberal Party (PNL), collapsed on February 5, following a parliamentary no-confidence vote after just three months in office. A day later, President Klaus Iohannis, himself from the centre-right, re-nominated Orban for the job in an apparent attempt to force a snap election. Orban and Iohannis have both said they want early elections, but Iohannis can only dissolve parliament after two failed attempts to install a new executive within 60 days. On Monday however, the Constitutional Court questioned Orban's re-appointment, saying any nomination "must serve the purpose of gathering a parliamentary majority". Marcel Ciolacu, leader of the main opposition Social Democrats (PDS), welcomed the ruling. "The court's decision clearly shows that (the president) must nominate someone not just for show, but to actually form a majority." The PSD won the last elections in 2016 but after losing support following mass protests over corruption was pushed out of government in a no-confidence vote last year. But it still has 203 out of 465 parliamentary seats. PSD MPs on Monday boycotted a plenary session of the parliament, where Orban's government was due to face a confidence vote. MPs from other smaller parties also stayed away, thus blocking the vote, which required at least 233 MPs to be present. "Social Democrat MPs ran away from their obligations today," Orban said, also denouncing the Constitutional Court as "biased in favour of PSD". Iohannis, in a press conference after the court ruling, did not say what he would do next. But he admitted that the chances for a snap election had diminished. He too blamed the Social Democrats for the crisis. Romania has local elections scheduled for June and a general one at the end of the year. The EU member has not held a snap general election since the end of Communism 30 years ago. ii/jza/jj
