The Third Ponta Cabinet was the executive of Romania from 5 March to 13 December 2014. It was established after one day before it received the vote of confidence from the country's Parliament.[2] The Third Ponta Cabinet is supported by PSD–UNPR–PC Alliance and an unregistered party (PLR) led by Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu. In December 2014, UDMR voted the egress from the government, invoking the result of the presidential election, inasmuch as Klaus Iohannis, PSD counter candidate, was voted by more than 70% of the electorate in the ethnic Hungarian counties.

History

The Third Ponta Cabinet was approved by the Romanian Parliament on 4 March 2014 and took the oath in the presence of President Traian Băsescu on the evening of 5 March 2014.

Controversies

Liberal Democratic Party and People's Movement Party, members of the opposition, submitted to the Constitutional Court of Romania a contestation against the government investiture, arguing that the government can't be invested without a political program.[3] Even the President has repeatedly stated that he won't invest the government if it won't adopt as soon as a new political program. The Ponta Government announced the engagement of liability in Parliament for a new program, and therefore the Constitutional Court found, with 8 votes for and 1 against, that the contestation is redundant.[4]
