  "account": "Romanian President Nicușor Dan has selected European Parliament member Siegfried Mureșan to lead the country out of its ongoing political crisis. Mureșan, who received the most votes from the parliamentary parties during consultations, was proposed by all three main parties in a bid to secure a majority. Despite his EU parliamentary experience and negotiation skills, Mureșan's nomination has faced criticism from the Social Democrats and the Alliance for the Union of Romanians, due to his outspoken stance against cutting European funds. Mureșan, a member of the National Liberal Party, now has a ten-day window to form a cabinet and secure a vote of confidence from parliament.",
  "summary": "Siegfried Mureșan is the third man nominated by President Nicușor Dan in his bid to solve Romania's parliamentary gridlock.",
