We must begin with the real fact that we have a Constitution which I think is a good Constitution. We have to eliminate confusions and establish more precisely the limits of separation between state powers and mode of action, in certain moments,’ said the President, at the beginning of consultations he initiated on the review of the Constitution.
Traian Basescu said in this context that ‘those two questions of the Referendum are only reasons to open the entire Constitution and to conduct a review process to be adapted to the needs of present and future of Romania.
He said however that the Constitution review implies also taking into account of the outcome of the Referendum in November 2009.
‘We are talking about a Referendum in which 77 pct of the electors voted for a unicameral Parliament and 88 pct to reduce number of MPs. I think it was a vote that nobody can deny it was a freely expressed vote (…),’ said Basescu.
At the same time, the head of state said that the review process ‘can not be limited only to the Constitution’, but it should be extended to several urgent normative acts urgent to be adopted by the Legislature.
