Romania's Social Democratic Party on Thursday said it had quit the coalition government of Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, triggering a new political crisis in the turmoil-weary country.

The Social Democratic Party (PSD), the biggest in parliament with around 130 seats of the total 465, joined a pro-EU governing coalition in June last year.
