Romania's parliament voted Thursday to suspend the popular president who ushered in economic and social reforms to help the country join the European Union, accusing him of abusing his constitutional powers.
President Traian Basescu had earlier vowed to resign "within five minutes" if lawmakers voted to suspend him. His resignation would prompt a new election within three months, and he has said he would run again for office. Under the law, parliament can suspend the president for 30 days and organize a referendum to remove him from office. More than half of voting-age Romanians would have to approve a referendum for it to pass, which would be virtually impossible, given Basescu's popularity and the usually low turnout in Romanian ballots.
Lawmakers have accused Basescu of 19 counts of constitutional abuses such as usurping the Cabinet from the prime minister, criticizing judges and ordering the tapping of minister's telephone calls. The Constitutional Court, however, ruled there was no evidence to back the charges and dismissed the lawmakers' accusations.
"It's a bad solution for a bad situation," said Deputies' Chamber speaker Bogdan Olteanu, adding that Basescu should be impeached because he fueled political conflicts that threatened Romania's development.

Basescu, who has denied any wrongdoing, is Romania's most popular politician and polls indicate he would win a new term in office in a new election.
He is credited with helping to implement reforms after he came to office in 2004 which helped Romania join the EU on Jan. 1. However, he has been at odds with both the left wing opposition and with Prime Minister Calin Popescu Tariceanu, with whom he recently clashed in a public argument on national television.
Dozens of Basescu supporters gathered in the capital for a rally, and the president was expected to join them later in the day.
Va multumesc si mergeti acasa.
Voi fi in continuare presedintele romanilor!

On Wednesday, the president warned that a vote to suspend him could have serious consequences for Romania, including a decrease in the country's rating by credit agencies and weakening its position in the EU because of political instability. According to the law, the chairman of the Senate, Nicolae Vacaroiu, is to assume the president's duties during his suspension, or until a new election can be held if Basescu resigns or is impeached in a referendum.

Deocamdata ZIUA ne zice ca e un mare suspans !,
cica vom vedea pe larg miine ...
voi avea oare rabdare ???
comentariile abunda deja, se arunga sume mari pe pariuri ...
Apare un anunt in ziar:
Angajam pentru postul cutare profesionist, tanar cu aspect placut, detinator de carnet conducere auto, cunoscator a cel putin trei limbi straine.
La doua zile dupa aparitia anuntului, se prezinta la firma respectiva un batranel, imbracat modest, cu bastonul tremurand in mana, ochelari grosi pe nas. Angajatorul se uita lung la el si in gand elimina primele dintre conditii, dupa care intreaba:
- Cunoasteti multe limbi straine?
- A, nu! Am venit doar sa va spun sa nu va bazati pe mine!
Sunt cam gri de suparare.
A castigat MAFIA!
Regret ca traiesc in ROMANIA!
Regret ca in 1990 nu am plecat din ROMANIA! Am trait sa vad cum un colhoz format din PSD-ul criptocomunist impreuna cu Petroliberalii lui Patriciu si Tariceanu, alaturi de PRM-ul lui Vadim mana-n mana cu UDMR-ul lui Marko Bela au suspendat pe presedintele Basescu, a carui vina e ca a scormonit "MERDA" politicii romanesti!
In urma cu cateva zile m-am intalnit cu prieteni din Romania.
I-am rugat sa-mi explice ce se petrece in Romania din punct de vedre politico-economic.
Raspunsul a fost ca se fura ca in codru, ca Patriciu si altzi coruptzi manevreaza o groaza de parlamentari ca sa-si ingroase buzunarele si ca multzi parlamentari vor sa-l dea jos pe Basescu pentru ca le deranjeaza combinatziile.
Patriciu este mana in mana cu rusii in materie de gaz-petrol, iar Rosca Stanescu este unul din gasca lui Patriciu, (nota mea: ceea ce explica stirile din ziarele rusesti publicate in Ziua si vocea Moscovei anti-americana reprezentata de Alexe, Munteanu si Cornea.
La acest trio pot sa-l adaug si pe trepadusul de Tesu, care si el bate in Israel, aliat al americanilor dupa cum ii cere sa cante ala care il plateste).
Oamenii erau dezgustatzi exact ca si Cristian.
Inca au spus ca daca vor fi alegeri Basescu va fi ales din nou, este sprijinit de o majoritate serioasa.
