Romanian Main Ruling Party Wants To Merge Constitutional Revision Referendum With Local Elections

Romania's Democratic Liberal Party (PDL) wants the referendum on Constitutional revision to be held at the same time as the local elections in June, so that the general elections this fall would follow new rules, party leader Emil Boc said Monday.

Boc asked the opposition parties, which have been boycotting the legislature's activity for the past few months, to return to Parliament for the Constitution's revision, as it requires the votes of two thirds of MPs.

The Constitution would be revised to implement the results of the 2009 referendum, namely switching to a single-chamber legislature of 300 seats, Boc added.
