Romania Ministers Fired
FILE - In this file photo of Tuesday, June 15, 2010, Romanian Premier Emil Boc looks at lawmakers before a no-confidence vote in Bucharest, Romania. Romania's unpopular government appeared to be on the brink of collapse on Thursday Sept. 2, 2010, after premier Emil Boc fired four Cabinet ministers, with the economy minister also saying he wants to quit. Romania is mired in its worst recession of the past two decades and the government has slashed public sector wages by a quarter and hiked sales tax from 19 to 24 percent on July 1 to reduce the budget deficit.
