Government reshuffle.<\/strong> The Romanian prime
\nminister Mihai Tudose has said he will present president Klaus Iohannis, on Monday, with
\nhis proposals for the new heads of the development, transport and European
\nfunds ministries, namely Paul Stanescu, Felix Stroe and Marius Nica, respectively. The nominations were made on Friday by the Social Democratic
\nParty, the senior partner in the ruling coalition. They will replace Sevil
\nShhaideh, Rovana Plumb and Razvan Cuc, who have resigned. Shhaideh and Plumb
\nare being investigated by the National Anticorruption Directorate for
\ncorruption. Also on Friday, the Alliance of Liberals and Democrats, the Social
\nDemocrat’s ruling partner, said it would not withdraw support for its
\nrepresentative in the cabinet, the minister for the relation with Parliament
\nViorel Ilie, who is under investigation for peddling in influence. <\/p>\n

Europe.<\/strong> The idea of a two or multi-speed Europe
\nor a Europe of concentric circles would only deepen divisions among member
\nstates, and Romania will not accept this possibility, said the country’s
\npresident Klaus Iohannis during talks with the European Council president Donald
\nTusk in Bucharest. Tusk is on a tour to discuss a document on the consolidation
\nof the community space. President Iohannis also called for a united, strong and
\ncoherent Europe that is closer to its citizens and has a clear identity at
\nglobal level. According to the president’s office, this goal will define
\nRomania’s term as holder of the EU Council presidency in the first half of
\n2019. <\/p>\n

Ukraine education law.<\/strong> The minister for
\nRomanians abroad Andreea Pastirnac met the Ukrainian foreign minister Pavlo
\nKlimkin in Bucharest on Friday. The Romanian official expressed concern over
\nUkraine’s new education law that drastically restricts the access of ethnic
\nminorities in Ukraine to education in their languages. She said she received
\nindications from the Romanian community in Ukraine about the negative impact of
\nthis new piece of legislation, which she fears may lead to a gradual loss of
\nlinguistic identity. She also emphasised that the standard and quality of
\nteaching in Romanian should not be affected by the administrative reform in the
\nneighbouring Ukraine. On Friday, the Ukrainian foreign minister also met his
\nRomanian counterpart Teodor Melescanu, who said the Romanian authorities were
\ncounting on Ukraine’s willingness to make the necessary decisions to address
\nthe situation. Ukraine is home to around 500,000 ethnic Romanians.<\/p>\n

Rally. <\/strong>A rally to campaign for an end to
\nviolence against women was held on Saturday in Bucharest. Now in its third
\nyear, the event was held under the motto You Are not Alone, to convey a
\nmessage of solidarity with the women who are victims of gender-based violence.
\nThe participants shouted slogans such as Indifference feeds violence and We
\nwant justice in the courts and trust in the police. The NGOs that organised
\nthe event are calling on the authorities to take concrete steps to reduce this
\ntype of violence, increase the number of reported and prosecuted cases and
\nimprove assistance to women. According to a study by the European Union Agency
\nfor Fundamental Rights, in 2014, one in four women in Romania suffered physical
\nor sexual abuse by their partners or had experienced this form of violence at
\nleast once over their lifetime. <\/p>\n
