Antonescu on Tuesday signed the decree passing the law amending the referendum law.
Early July, the Government issued an emergency ordinance amending the referendum law to provide that the head of state may be impeached with the votes of the majority of participants in the ballot. The amendment reversed a recent change to the referendum law whereby the president could be removed from office with the majority of all eligible voters in the country. However, the Constitutional Court decided recently the new referendum law is constitutional only if 50% plus one of all voters cast ballots.
Romania will hold the impeachment referendum on July 29.
