The Second Ciolacu Cabinet was the 134th government of Romania, since 23 December 2024. The government was led by Marcel Ciolacu who was the leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) until his resignation in 2025 and the withdrawal of support for the government by his party. Cătălin Predoiu has been appointed to lead the government in acting capacity on 6 May.[1]
The cabinet is the result of the Coalition talks following the 2024 Romanian legislative election.
Following the results of the 2025 Romanian presidential election, Marcel Ciolacu announced that PSD would leave A.Ro, and resigned from the position of Prime Minister, which resulted in the collapse of the coalition.[2]
