"He lost the battle but he won the war"-so Adevărul sees the end of the suspending and dismissal process of President Traian Basescu.

The president return to the Cotroceni Palace was a paradox, writes the publication: he was defeated in all political disputes, most of those legal and he won at diplomatic level only.

There are dotted in chronological order the other stages that culminated in the July 29 referendum.

Evenimentul Zilei published today an exclusive interview with Andrei Pleşu.

The essayist talks about the effects of government policies on culture, with direct reference to the Romanian Cultural Institute and at TVR Cultural, but also about what he calls "new barons inflation " on stage in Romania.

Andrei Pleşu expresses disapproval of the situation in which the two institutions and makes some suggestions for people who should lead them.

"Searching for desperate solutions for class zero", România Liberă writes and points : given that there are a few days before the start of the school year, the education authorities have not yet solved the staff problem of the preparatory classes .

School Inspectorate of the city recruits pensioners, students and post-graduate students, stand-in teachers , and a final solution would be hiring students in the final year of college, told the newspaper the Chief Inspector Constantin Trăistaru.

"Farewell, ring road : the capital remained without funding," warns Ziarul Financiar.
