Social Democrats launch Mircea Geoana candidacy for Romania Presidency
A congress of the PSD today saw prominent leaders and officials of the party attacking incumbent Romania President Traian Basescu permanently with speeches that focused on the idea that "Basescu must be stopped".
PSD had blamed Basescu - who is also due to officially announce his candidacy for reelection - for a series of political decisions lately which prompted the party to leave the government.
PSD and Basescu's key supporting party, the Democratic Liberals, have formed a coalition government since parliamentary elections a year ago.
