Romania's parliament on Tuesday voted to oust liberal Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan in a motion of no confidence initiated by the Social Democrats and the far right, deepening political turmoil in the EU and NATO country bordering Ukraine. FRANCE 24's Mark Owen speaks with Laurențiu Pleșca, Policy Fellow at the German Marshall Fund of the United States. He says that the collapse of the government "does not alter Romania's foreign policy or security trajectory".
