Unless I‘m missing something, it looks very unlikely that Muresan will get anywhere close to enough MPs to support his minority government at the investiture vote tomorrow and this has been clear for some time, so it‘s a bit of a puzzle to me why we are going through the motions here.

... which rocked the Romanian justice system earlier this year. Romania is heading for a highly uncertain investiture vote this Wednesday for a reformist minority government headed by Siegfried Muresan, the national-liberal MEP, supported by PNL, USR & UDMR (the Hungarian minority).

The 'Information from Abroad' workshop starts today. @aarhusbss.bsky.social Glad to bring together a great group of researchers working on how citizens and elites respond to foreign signals (especially relevant amid war, tariffs, and election interference). Grateful for support @carlsbergfondet.dk

Very thankful for all the feedback and discussions over the past four days in Innsbruck 🏔️

Great ECPR workshop on symbolic politics and policy. What a fun week of hard work! Thank you all for excellent research & constructive, intellectually challenging discussions @sciencespo-cee.bsky.social @ariadnevromen.bsky.social

Call for Papers 📣 The EUI SPS Department invites submissions for the workshop “Political Behaviour in Central & Eastern Europe.” Research on elections, public opinion, parties and political participation in the CEE region. Submit by 30 March 2026 www.eui.eu/news-hub?id=... #PoliticalScience

Increasingly, politics in West Europe is a mirror of East Europe, with a large radical right party against a rag-tag of centrist/liberal, centre-left, green and radical left parties and a rapidly declining centre right. The challenge is to coordinate the progressive opposition to the radical right.

Catherine E. de Vries@catherinedevries.bsky.social · 12mo ago

Scholars & pundits have focussed a lot on the electoral demise of center left, but in doing so we paid to little attention to the electoral problems of the center right. Case-in-points here not only British conservatives or center right in France, but increasingly also the center right in Spain.

Was great to be at @uniluzern.bsky.social earlier this month to teach the first part of a seminar block on Political Behaviour and Parties in Central and Eastern Europe. Looking forward to being back soon!

Looking forward to this! 👀
