		Basescu subsequently suggested that the real grounds for Stolojan's decision were threats he received to disclose details of his brief hospitalization in a psychiatric ward in the 1980s and his alleged involvement in the creation of a dubious company while he was prime minister in 1991-92.
		Shortly before Basescu was reelected to a second term as mayor of the capital in 2004, prosecutors reopened a nine-year-old file on a questionable privatization that took place while Basescu was transportation minister in governments headed by Petre Roman and Stolojan in 1991-92.

	Traian BÄsescu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Traian BÄsescu (born November 4, 1951) is a Romanian politician.
		Traian Basescu was born in Basarabi, a small town near ConstanÅ£a, the biggest port in Romania.
		Although the lawsuit against him was closed due to lack of evidence, it was reopened in early 2004, in what many consider to be a political maneuver against him using the Anti-corruption Prosecutor's Bureau, an institution his supporters claim has been used mostly for political reprisals against anti-PSD campaigners.

		Mr Basescu had pledged to be the president of a “Romania that belongs to Romanians”; and had accused Mr Nastase and his party – the ruling Social Democratic Party (SDP) – of “high treason” for allegedly agreeing to grant autonomy to Romania’s Szeklers, part of the ethnic Hungarian minority.
		Mr Basescu is the leader of the Democratic Party (DP), formerly part of the post-communist National Salvation Front, from which both the DP and the SDP emerged later.
		According to the constitution, the president is obliged to appoint a prime minister either from the party with a majority of members of both houses of parliament (the chamber of deputies and the senate) or after consultations with the parties represented in the parliament.

		It is necessary to note, that the assignment of Basescu's personal adviser to the post of head of new intelligence body, while simultaneous putting it under the CSAT's authority, is a significant step toward strengthening the Romanian President's position in the political system of the country.
		The problem is that Traian Basescu, a strong, charismatic politician, is extremely popular, while Prime Minister Calin Constantin Anton Popescu-Tariceanu is seen as a weak political leader, who is far removed from the people he is supposed to rule.
