Both presidential and parliamentary elections since 1991 have been generally free and fair. After the December 2016 parliamentary elections, a majority comprised of the PSD and the Alliance of Democrats and Liberals (ALDE) proposed Sorin Grindeanu of the PSD to be prime minister. President Klaus Iohannis designated Grindeanu, and the new cabinet was sworn into office in January 2017. In June, Grindeanu was ousted in a vote of no confidence filed by the PSD and initiated by party chair Liviu Dragnea.

    Naik ke Puncak Klasemen, Real Madrid Cukur Huesca 4-1 Realitarakyat.com – Real Madrid menghajar tamunya Huesca 4-1 dalam laga pekan kedelapan Liga Spanyol di Stadion Alfredo di Stefano, Sabtu (31/10/2020), untuk naik ke puncak klasemen sementara. Tambahan tiga poin, membuat Real Madrid kini mengoleksi 16 poin demi menyalip Real Sociedad (14) dan Cadiz (14) untuk mengambil alih posisi puncak. Kendati demikian, posisi Real Madrid bisa disalip mengingat Sociedad baru main pada Minggu (1/11/2020) besok, sedangkan Huesca (5) tertahan di urutan ke-18 klasemen demikian catatan laman resmi Liga Spanyol. Karim Benzema tampil begitu gemilang di laga kali ini, seolah mengalihkan perhatian dari kontroversinya terkait komentarnya terhadap Vinicius Junior beberapa hari lalu. Benzema mencetak dua gol dan mengirimkan satu assist untuk kemenangan Real Madrid kali ini. Eden Hazard lebih dulu membuka keunggulan Real Madrid lima menit jelang turun minum, ketika mencetak gol perdananya musim ini setelah memperdaya Kelechi Nwakali sebelum melepaskan tembakan keras yang tak mampu diantisipasi kiper Andres Fernandez. Di pengujung babak pertama, Benzema mencetak gol pertamanya guna menggandakan keunggulan Real Madrid dengan sepakan sudut sempit memanfaatkan umpan kiriman Lucas Vazquez. Lantas sembilan menit memasuki babak kedua, Benzema mengirimkan umpan yang diselesaikan oleh Federica Valverde untuk memperbesar keunggulan Real Madrid jadi 3-0 atas Huesca. Tim tamu sempat memperkecil ketertinggalan lewat sontekan David Ferreiro pada menit ke-74, tetapi Benzema memastikan kemenangan Real Madrid jadi 4-1 lewat gol sundulannya tepat di pengujung waktu normal. Real Madrid selanjutnya akan lebih dulu menjamu Inter Milan di kelanjutan Grup B Liga Champions pada Selasa (3/11), sebelum bertandang ke markas Valencia di laga pekan kesembilan Liga Spanyol lima hari kemudian.
