“All of this political instability in Romania is bad for the country’s image, it could not have come at a worse time,” said Cosmin Stan, a leading Romanian commentator about the toppling of Prime Minister Emil Boc’s centrist government.
Romania, a poor country of 22 million people, has been desperately trying to overcome a reputation for lawlessness and corruption, but the Romanian government collapsed after a vote of no confidence on October 13.
Political instability threatens Romania’s already struggling economy and makes it more difficult for Romania to meet the terms of a huge aid package it received from the IMF and the European Union.
