He looks like he is, but the Romanian Constitution doesn't give him too much leverage. Romania is a Parliamentary democracy and while there are a few checks and balances in place (the President accepts / rejects the PM, etc) not much can be done if a big majority has the Parliament. Slowly, they assimilate a lot of civil structures, which otherwise should be independent, so yes, Romania is heading towards an autocracy (like Hungary and Poland)...
