National Press Review, June 28

What can we read in the newspapers today: Constitutional Court decided that the president would go to Brussels, but it is not clear who will occupy the seat reserved for our representative at the summit that begins this afternoon.

"Political war has become totally," writes România Liberă.

It is the result of yesterday's decision of the Constitutional Court, which decided that the President participates in the European Council.

Prime Minister Ponta claims to be a recognition of the prerogative of the President to "lead all institutions of this country" and implies that it would trigger the proceedings to suspend Traian Băsescu, whom he accuses of blocking.

Constitutional Court - "Băsescu's last redoubt," writes Adevărul.
"USL calculations were damaged by the Constitutional Court", and the president won the CCR, but "is menaced by the suspension".

How the conflict is seen in Brussels, we find also in The Truth: "there will be a single seat at the summit, so we need a categorical decision, whether of the Constitutional Court or otherwise."

Political group leaders have joined the game and either "they sang in the string" to Victor Ponta or attacked him, according to political affiliation.

"Two for Brussels", we read in Jurnalul Național : CCR entitles Băsescu to represent Romania today, premier Ponta says he will go too in the mandate given by Parliament.

"The Court's decision is no surprise [...] Traian Băsescu called some people who always have wishes fulfilled," said Victor Ponta.

Regarding the issue of suspension, "USL will never step back in relation to the president" - he stressed.

Evenimentul Zilei says that yesterday were "Three strikes for Victor Ponta: 1. President goes to the European Council, 2. Pure Single-vote system was declared unconstitutional and 3. At TVR, faces three camps, and prepare employees protest".

In România Liberă: "What surprises are prepared for students?". After the scandal "subjective - predicative" created by the scale sample of Romanian Language, appeared again voices who claim to return to the exam stage, as until 1995. Is it well, is it bad?

From the first day of next month, the electronic prescription shall enter into force, but remained "a mystery to doctors," writes Evenimentul Zilei.

Instruction was made ​​"fast forward", "as for the computer". You cannot practice, because the software does not exist yet.

"NRB-bank becomes a surrogate mother for the Romanian banks with foreign capital", we learn from Ziarul Financiar.

National Bank says it is forced to borrow, because the external financing, of which are dependent, is uncertain. Isărescu said that in the last six weeks, banks have clearly reduced their exposures.

Adevărul marks an event: 182 days have elapsed since the beginning of 2012, i.e. 49 percent of the days of the year.

Just as the tax rate in Romania.

This rate means that, in order to pay all taxes (flat 16 percent, VAT 24 percent, fees and taxes on land, houses and cars), Romanians working six months.
