Bucharest – Romania's pro-European Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan was ousted Tuesday in a no confidence motion brought by the Social Democrats, his estranged allies, and the far right, deepening political turmoil in the European Union and NATO member bordering Ukraine.

The left-wing Social Democrats, the biggest party, were accused of legitimizing extremist politics after they teamed up with the main far-right party Alliance for the Union of Romanians (AUR) to bring down the coalition government.

The motion received 281 votes in the 464-seat parliament. Bolojan's liberals and his allies were present, but did not vote.
