Liberal Party leader Crin Antonescu said Basescu has repeatedly breached the Constitution, threatening the rule of law in the country.

He added the opposition will likely complete its request to have the head of state impeached in a week and will forward it to Parliament.

In April 2007, the Romanian Parliament suspended Basescu from the position of head of state, but he was reinstated a month later following a countrywide referendum.
