Maior has said, among other things, that the institution he headed back in 2009 carried out its mission in keeping with the laws in force. Parliament\u2019s inquiry committee, set up at the initiative of the coalition government, is investigating the unclear circumstances in which in 2009 Traian Basescu won a second term in office as president of Romania, after defeating the then president of the Social Democratic Party Mircea Geoana in the runoff. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=NoSpacing style=text-align:justify>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p class=NoSpacing style=text-align:justify><strong>PARTIAL ELECTIONS <\/strong>&#8211; Partial elections were held in Romania on Sunday, one year after the local elections. New mayors were elected in 49 localities in 32 counties. According to the Permanent Electoral Authority, the turnout was 33%. These elections were necessary because some of the mayors elected last year resigned their posts after becoming MPs following the parliamentary elections at the end of the year, while others received court sentences. The most important posts that had thus become available were those in Craiova and Targu Jiu, both in the south of the country.

The strike was initially scheduled for June 12. The announcement came in the context of one thousand teachers in Bucharest having refused to enter the classrooms during Baccalaureate exams on Monday morning. The Education Ministry has given assurances that the Baccalaureate exams are unfolding in keeping with the schedule.
