Romania's President Basescu addresses the Parliament before the vote on suspending him in Bucharest
Romania's President Traian Basescu addresses the Parliament before the vote on suspending him over what the ruling Social Liberal Union (USL) says is his attempt to pressure judges and break the constitution, in Bucharest July 6, 2012. The European Commission demanded on Friday that Romania respect the rule of law and independence of the judiciary, as the government tries to impeach the president after crimping the power of the Constitutional Court.
