Basescu added Romania’s justice sector confronts with the distrust of the European partners.

The president spoke for nearly two hours and his speech was an activity report of his five-year mandate.

By the end of the speech about 250 lawmakers, mainly democrat liberals, the ministers and Prime Minister Emil Boc remained in the parliament chamber.

Only six liberals and several representatives of the Hungarian minority party remained until the end of the speech when the democrat liberals stood up and applauded the president, determining all the others to do so.
