The Constitutional Court of Romania ruled on Monday that there is a legal conflict between the president and the parliament regarding the nomination of Liberal leader Ludovic Orban, also the outgoing prime minister, to form a new government.

Orban, whose cabinet stepped down after losing a censure motion in parliament on Feb. 5, was nominated by President Klaus Iohannis as new Prime Minister one day later.
