Romania PM survives no-confidence vote

Romania's defiant Prime Minister Sorin Grindeanu easily survived a no-confidence vote yesterday as his left-wing government battles nationwide unrest over its attempt to weaken corruption laws. The motion, submitted by the centre-right opposition, failed to garner the required 233 votes in parliament where Grindeanu's left-wing Social Democrat party (PSD) holds a solid majority after winning elections only two months ago.
