ROMÂNIA LIBERĂ believes that subjected to immense political pressure, the Court gave in being an institution still kneeling.

Also EVENIMENTUL ZILEI believes that the judges would have been proved the constitutional impotency that can yesterday’s decision blow up the results of the recent local elections.

Instead, JURNALUL NAȚIONAL notes, under the title of 9/11 and yet one day, that remains suspended President Traian Băsescu and the President’s prerogatives are carried further by Crin Antonescu.

The latter is quoted as saying that the delay arises out of the Court’s belief in the electoral process that counts every vote.

ROMÂNIA LIBERĂ writes about Horia Roman Patapievici's resignation from the Presidency of ICR and about the fact that the heads of 12 counties agricultural divisions were put to make a census of drought disaster areas.

But the figures must be sent to the Ministry are changing daily.

In ADEVĂRUL, we read about the phenomenon from the Olympics, where Chinese athletes win a medal after medal, results absolutely obsolete in common, but also about footballers hopes from CFR Cluj and FC Vaslui for qualification to the Champions League groups.
