With Sevil Shhaideh, Romania Could Make History

Romania’s Partidul Social Democrat (PSD; Social Democratic Party), which won Romania’s December 11 parliamentary elections, could make history for Romania. Liviu Dragnea, the chairman of the PSD, proposed Sevil Shhaideh as Romania’s next prime minister. Shhaideh would not only be the first female prime minister of Romania; she would also be the first Muslim prime minister of the country.
