No political partywas able to secure a viable parliamentary majority, amidst accusations from international observers and opposition parties alike that the PSD had committed large-scaleelectoral fraud. There was no winner in the first round of the presidential elections. The joint PNL–PD candidate, Traian Bæsescu, won the second round on December 12,2004 with 51% of the vote and thus became the third post-revolutionary president of Romania. The PNL leader, Cælin Popescu Tæriceanu was assigned the difficult task ofbuilding a coalition government without including the PSD. In December 2004, the new coalition government (PD, PNL, PUR Romanian Humanist Party – which eventuallychanged its name to Romanian Conservative Party – and UDMR), was sworn in under Prime Minister Tæriceanu. Romania joined NATO in 2004, and the country is scheduledto join the European Union (EU), alongside Bulgaria, in 2007. The EU accession treaty signed on April 25, 2005 in Luxembourg contains a safeguard clause, which allowsdelaying entry for a year if EU standards are not met. The government faces two main challenges to achieve the necessary conditions for entry into the EU: eradication ofcorruption, which remains widespread, and reform of the judicial system. 2005 Those who said NO, the ’70 and ’80 opponents and dissidents – The Civic AcademyFoundation – meeting 2002 – the reconstruction of the resistance and dissidence movement – conclusion – today’s people rejects them, figuring that history would havehad exactly the same course without them.
