Orban fell. Long live Orban!
This is the shortest way of telling what happened in the beginning of February in Romania. Ludovic Orban lost the confidence vote on 5 February 2020, after the oppositional social democrats together with the party of the ethnic Hungarians took down the Orban government. The Romanian Orban however continues to be alive politically, not only because he still governs as caretaker prime minister. He also received from the president and party comrade Klaus Iohannis mandate for formation of a new government. Orban proposed the same minister at the same positions, copy-pasting the cabinet, with which he governed for three months.
