It's been three years from the time that Traian Basescu was dismissed as president by the 7.4 million Romanians.
Despite the vote, the former president remained in office with the help of the Constitutional Court who canceled the will of the electorate.

The error of the Constitutional Court which saved Traian Basescu from dismissal in 2012 is now being investigated by the Prosecutor General, after the prosecutor was informed about the falsification of official documents submitted to the Constitutional Court.
Just a few days, this is how long Traian Basescu’s courage to face the electorate lasted . Then he changed his mind and asked his supporters to boycott the referendum.

His urges and the extremely hot weather did not however prevent people from showing up at the polls in large numbers

The polls were closed at 23:00 hours and the USL leaders already announced a huge victory.

At the same time, Traian Băsescu proclaimed his victory before his campaign headquarters.

The suspended president went back to his obsession about Antena 3.
Around 8.4 million citizens showed up at the polls, representing 46% of the citizens with the right to vote. The suspended president Traian Basescu was preparing to return to Cotoroceni, despite the 7.4 million people who had asked him to leave.

The final decision was in the hands of judges of the Constitutional Court. They had to decide whether the electoral lists were drawn up correctly and if the referendum to impeach Traian Băsescu was valid or not.


After a continuance of the decision, CCR returned with the famous errata which led to the invalidation of the referendum. CCR judges’ decision taken back then was brought before the General Prosecutor who opened a criminal case.

More details about the referendum on Basescu's dismissal of 2012 can be found in the today’s National Journal.
