Romania's PM resigns amid failure to achieve election goal

File photo taken on Sept. 17, 2020 shows Nicolae Ciuca (R, Front) and Ludovic Orban (L, Front) attending an event in Bucharest, Romania. Romanian Prime Minister Ludovic Orban announced his resignation on Dec. 7, after the ruling National Liberal Party (PNL) he leads failed to achieve its goal of scoring the best in Sunday's parliamentary election. President Klaus Iohannis soon signed the decree, accepting Orban's resignation and appointing Defense Minister Nicolae Ciuca as interim prime minister. (Photo by Cristian Cristel/Xinhua)
