Romania judge confirms impeachment decision delay


    BUCHAREST (Reuters) - A Romanian Constitutional Court judge confirmed press reports on Thursday that it had delayed a decision on the validity of a referendum on impeaching the president until September.

    Asked if the decision had been delayed, Aspazia Cojocaru said: "Yes."

    "If you're asking me, the referendum should have been annulled," she told reporters outside the court. "Everything was based on fake data."
