[2] The Third Ponta Cabinet is supported by PSD–UNPR–PC Alliance and an unregistered party (PLR) led by Călin Popescu-Tăriceanu.

The Ponta Government announced the engagement of liability in Parliament for a new program, and therefore the Constitutional Court found, with 8 votes for and 1 against, that the contestation is redundant.
