Romania’s Senate backs withdrawal of graft decree
Romania’s upper house of parliament, the Senate, on Tuesday unanimously endorsed a government order to scrap a graft decree that triggered mass street protests, international criticism and finally an embarrassing U-turn by the month-old cabinet. The Senate backed the order by 118 votes to none against. The lower house of parliament, which has the final say, is also expected shortly to approve the withdrawal of the decree. On Monday, parliament also unanimously endorsed a presidential plan to hold a national referendum over anti-corruption reforms. Media agencies
