"PSD sent Crin home", says Evenimentul Zilei, showing step by step the plenary sitting of the two houses of Parliament, meeting in order to take note of the decision of the Constitutional Court on July 29 referendum.

From behind the discussions of the judiciary members, the newspaper found that Liberals were opposed to ensure a quorum till the last moment, being as the image to persuade also the PSD parliamentarians, who were however sent to plenary by Premier Victor Ponta.

The publication presents plastic the results of the meeting: Traian Băsescu can break the seals of the Office which was locked in 52 days ago.

"The Parliament gives the green light to the Băsescu return at Cotroceni", we can read in Jurnalul Naţional, apart from the way in which took place the meeting of the plenary, it brings attention as well, the demonstrators gathered in front of the Parliament building to demonstrate against the of the Constitutional Court decision regarding the referendum invalidation . The newspaper also writes about the protest in Parliament but of the USL, whose MPs have decided to leave the plenary meeting hall.

"Boycott in Parliament?" asks România Liberă, it considers that ruling parties tried one last, futile effort to block the return of Traian Basescu at Cotroceni. The newspaper believes that USL had tried an exercise in image, which describes as a "theatre for 7.4 million people", referring to the electorate who voted for the President's impeachment. Although it was supposed to be a formality, the yesterday sitting in Parliament was fraught with tension, the publication notes that believes Liberals had exerted pressure on the social democrats to postpone the fulfilment of the obligations provided for by the Constitution.

Also Adevărul presents "the end of a 52-day suspensions," whose key moments they point to the calendar, starting July 3, when they were changing from the Presidents of the two Chambers of Parliament. In addition, the newspaper writes about the strategy adopted in the plenary yesterday, PSD and PNL strategy that would be changed at the request of the leaders of the two parties and after a round of talks with PDL. In addition, Adevărul claims that Victor Ponta has requested to the PSD parliamentarians participate in the meeting in order not to cause image problems abroad.

Change the topic and get back to Jurnalul Național that draw attention that "the Drought reduced by half the production of vegetables and fruits." Journalists talked with Vegetable-Fruit Matca Producers Group President-Mircea Croitoru, , who added to the causes that led to this situation also the lack of funding of the farmers by the Ministry of Agriculture. Instead, the officials are optimistic, at least in respect of production for oil seeds, which, they say, will cover the country's needs.
