Timeline of governments
A proportional overview of durations, with an accessible list of every term.
Legal succession on 8 June 2019: the Filip government’s term ends on the day the Sandu government was invested, with no gap between terms (0 days). The effective transfer of power was nevertheless blocked for six days, from 8 to 14 June 2019. On 14 June Filip announced his withdrawal from government and the transfer of power; on 15 June the Constitutional Court annulled its acts of 7–9 June. The six days describe the institutional transition, not overlapping legal terms.
Colours show PM affiliation, not government backing. Conflicting records are grouped as “Affiliation unresolved” without assigning a party. Political backing and coalitions are described separately in each profile. ADR is an alliance and some affiliations need confirmation; these groupings do not establish personal party membership. The existing palette is retained; FPM, PDAM and ADR colours are indicative.
