Let me see if I can get this one right.

In November, the opposition in Romania passed bills that lowered VAT on basic foods to 5% and exempted income tax on pensions of the lower-paid. As reported in a previous post, there were claims that parliament approved the bills in error and President Basescu vetoed the bills, or, technically, asked parliament to reconsider the bill (Art. 77).

Last week, Mediafax reports that the Romanian Senate opposed the president’s re-examination request by 54 votes to 49. In other words, the president’s veto was vetoed and the bills were approved. On Monday, it appears as if another vote on the veto was taken and this time it passed by 62 votes to 55.

So, the Senate’s veto of the president’s veto has been vetoed.
