The leader of Romania's National Liberal Party (PNL) has written to the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, to complain about the "totalitarian twist" supposedly taken by Romanian president Traian Basescu.
Calin Popescu Tariceanu, a former prime minister, made an unconventional move in claiming that Mr Basescu's Democrat-Liberal party (PDL) has constituted a majority "by politically corrupting deputies elected on the lists of other parties".

The leader of Romania's National Liberal Party (PNL) has written to the president of the European Commission, Jose Manuel Barroso, to complain about the "totalitarian twist" supposedly taken by Romanian president Traian Basescu.
Calin Popescu Tariceanu, a former prime minister, made an unconventional move in claiming that Mr Basescu's Democrat-Liberal party (PDL) has constituted a majority "by politically corrupting deputies elected on the lists of other parties".
Mr Tariceanu said this was a way of legalising "political corruption and political migration inside the parliament" and asked Mr Barroso to take action against the Romanian ruling coalition.
The PNL reaction was triggered by the formation of a new group that has altered the political balance inside the Romanian parliament. The National Union for Romania's Progress (UNPR) is close to the governing coalition and is formed of defectors from other parties, mainly members of the opposition Social Democratic Party (PSD) but also from the PNL.
The UNPR was validated last week by the Constitutional Court. It was formed in March and held its first congress on 1 May, so Mr Tariceanu's protest letter has come rather late.
"We are not going to get involved in this," Mark Gray, a spokesman for Mr Barroso, told WAZ.EUobserver. "The commission makes no comment on internal domestic disputes. We could intervene in the case of a dispute between states, like happened with Croatia and Slovenia, but not when it comes to internal debates and infighting between parties in one country."
