No, there is no link between ACTA and the resignation. The resignation is a political move trying to calm down the Romanian revolts started in January.


Yes, but I think the OP is saying that the article added an update to the end in a way that makes it seems like ACTA and his resignation are associated.

"Update: And... um... just like that, he's no longer Prime Minister, offering up his resignation today."


More likely, he was asked to resign in order to hold two sets of elections at the same time (parliamentary and county/mayoral). Resignation allows for earlier than planned parliamentary elections.
