Governing Democratic Liberals facing uphill struggle in fight for seats in Romania's Constitutional Court
Mircea Stefan Minea, a PDL candidate for a seat of judge in the Constitutional Court, first received less votes than Social Democratic (PSD, opposition) candidate Valer Dorneanu in a House of Deputies vote.
Then, PDL lost ground against the Liberals (PNL, opposition) in the Senate on Wednesday, as PNL representative Teodor Melescanu received approval from the Senate judicial commission for a seat of judge.
A final decision would be made in a plenary session of the Senate, where PDL holds a fragile majority.
