BUCHAREST (Reuters) - Romania's ruling Social Democrats replaced three ministers on Friday who resigned in what analysts said was indicative of a rift between Prime Minister Mihai Tudose and powerful party leader Liviu Dragnea.

The party also pledged to focus on passing justice laws that have worried the European Commission because of their implications for political control.
