Romanian PM Emil Boc has announced his resignation in an attempt to calm unrest at his austerity measures.
Boc resigned on Monday morning after weeks of protests against his tough austerity measures.
“I took the decision in order to calm social tensions and, furthermore, for the economic stability of the country not to be affected,” Emil Boc said in a public statement.
Protests over falling wages and the effects of the austerity measures started early in January, with thousands of people taking to the streets across the country demanding the resignation of both the government and President Traian Basescu.
