VISIT Romanian president Klaus Iohannis
will be receiving King Charles III of the United Kingdom at the Cotroceni
Palace in Bucharest on Friday. After the welcome ceremony, His Majesty will be
having face-to-face talks with the Romanian president, and is expected to meet
local authorities, representatives of civil society and members of the
diplomatic corps. The British Ambassador in Bucharest, Andrew Noble, has told the
AGERPRES news agency that His Majesty’s visit is private and that he will meet
the Romanian president as a courtesy gesture. This will be the first visit of a
British Monarch to Romania. King Charles III owns property in Romania, which he
used to visit regularly when he was Prince of Wales.










STRIKE After a new round of talks with the government in
Bucharest, trade unions in Romania’s education sector have threatened to carry
on their all-out strike as their request for a pay rise has been turned down by
the authorities. According to them, the government offered only the equivalent
of 800 euros in bonuses for teachers and 300 euros for the auxiliary personnel.
Over 15 thousand teachers protested in front of the government building and the
presidential palace on Tuesday calling on the Romanian president, who used to
be a teacher before becoming the country’s president, to get involved in the
process of finding a solution to their claims. President Iohannis has voiced
readiness to act a mediator in the talks aimed at finding a solution to the
crisis in Romania’s education system. He described the teachers’ claims as
natural and legitimate but underlined that overcoming the deadlock in education
and ending the strike are crucial for the good functioning of the school year
and for maintaining a stability climate in the educational system. Students in
schools across Romania have voiced their support for their teachers’ protests
and for their claims.








AID The National Committee for Emergency Situations, convened on
Monday by the Prime Minister of Romania, Nicolae Ciucă, approved the granting,
free of charge, of humanitarian aid to Syria. It is intended for the population
affected by the major earthquake produced on the territory of Turkey on
February 6, which caused casualties and big material damage in Syria as well.
The support is granted based on the humanitarian assistance request initiated
by Damascus through the European Civil Protection Mechanism. The Romanian
state, through the National Administration of State Reserves and the Romanian
Patriarchate, will send basic goods, food, medical devices and shelter items.
The transport will be carried out by air, with the support of the Ministry of
Defense.










UNITER The UNITER Gala, which awards the best Romanian theatrical
productions, will take place on June 12, in Timișoara, with a new concept,
specially created for the city in the west of the country, which holds the
title of Cultural Capital of Europe, the organizers announce in a press
conference on Monday. In the preamble, between June 7-10, three of the best
shows of 2022, nominated for the UNITER awards, will be presented: Oedipus King of the Marin
Sorescu National Theater in Craiova (south), Antonin Artaud. The
Cenci Family of the Vasile Alecsandri National Theater in Iasi
(east) and Seaside Stories of the Constanta State Theater
(south-east). The performances will be followed by interactive
question-and-answer sessions with the audience.
