Recent statements on the up to date lists , in the context in which tomorrow CCR would take a decision on the referendum and the domestic production of vaccines-are some of the topics of today's newspapers.

"How USL overturns the situation at the Constitutional Court"—headlines România Liberă and comments: "Although the CCR has asked the Government to report the number of citizens on the electoral rolls in which the referendum was organized for the dismissal of the head of State, Ministry of Administration and Interior, illegally, prepared other up to date lists , in the last two weeks, by mini census.

The publication noted that through this process would have been erased from the lists million people eligible to vote, with the aim of reducing the number of voters, so the referendum to be valid, and notes that the PDL will lodge a penal complaint.

Also Jurnalul Naţional writes about the subject and exposes declarations of officials from the Interior Ministry that announces it has entered the final stage of compiling the necessary data for updating the electoral lists.

Minister delegate of the Government Radu Stroe, argued that the results of these efforts are likely to overturn the situation at the Constitutional Court – shows the author of the article, which gives details about the statements of the Interior Minister, Mircea Duşa, according to which, today, after pooling information on permanent electoral rolls would be written documents that will reach the CCR.

Changing the area of interest with Evenimentul Zilei, which estimated that the judge Mona Pivniceru, nominated by PNL to justice," Is unlikely to become Minister".

The daily "some argues as follows: "some consider a magistrate cannot be Minister, being an essentially political function, both the Constitution and the magistrates laws forbid this" , but there are voices saying that, "after the model of Secretaries, wouldn't it be a problem to have a robe Minister."

"Romanian vaccine in clinical death:" Adevărul -claims and analyzes the causes that have led to a situation in which the Cantacuzino Institute from Bucharest no longer produces the anti influenza sera for immunization.

Among these are enumerated questions concerning equipment manufacturing or organizing flows.

The newspaper reported that Romania is forced to stand now at the hands of foreign producers, and the costs to those imports are triples compared to those from Cantacuzino Institute.

In addition, Adevărul points out , besides the lack of domestic production of the flu vaccine, also the dosages for children of 4 months and 1 year are missing.
