The trade unionists announced that they received a new offer: an increase by 45% in salaries from January 1, 2024 and not by 40% as it was before, and a bonus of 1,500 lei on October 5, on the International Day of Education, from this year until 2027. The talks took place against the background of the all-out strike and of a new protest rally in Bucharest, in which thousands of teachers participated. Demonstrations also took place in other cities in the country. On Thursday, the government adopted a memorandum on salary increases granted to the education staff through the future salary law &#8211; a way in which, it says, it guarantees that this field will be a priority. Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103 has given assurances that the basic salary of the beginner teacher will be set at the level of the gross average salary, as requested by the trade unionists. Also the memorandum establishes the right of the education employees to a leave allowance calculated according to the basic salary, as well as to increments. The strikers say, however, that Thursdays political declaration has no legal value and that they do not trust the political class in Romania.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Power plant<\/strong> &#8212; The construction of Units 3 and 4 at the Cernavod\u0103 nuclear power plant (south-east Romania) receives government support. A support agreement was signed on Friday in Bucharest, and the Finance Ministry will take the necessary steps to finance the project, including by granting state guarantees. Units 3 and 4 at the Cernavod\u0103 Nuclear Power Plant would cover over a third of Romanias energy needs and is a necessary investment for the countrys future, said the Prime Minister Nicolae Ciuc\u0103. He stated that this project also had social benefits, by maintaining more than 20,000 jobs.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Diplomacy<\/strong> &#8211; The Russian Foreign Ministry labeled the decision of the Romanian authorities to reduce the Russian diplomatic presence in Romania as a hostile act that will not go unanswered. Specific measures will be announced in due time, commented the spokesperson for the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zaharova. The Romanian Foreign Ministry announced that the ambassador of the Russian Federation to Bucharest was informed, on Thursday, about the decision of the Romanian authorities to reduce the diplomatic and technical-administrative staff of the Russian Federation in Romania by limiting their number to a level close to that of the diplomatic and technical -administrative staff of Romania in the Russian Federation. In 30 days at the most, the diplomats\u2019 positions must be reduced by 21, and the technical-administrative personnel positions by 30. Otherwise, accreditations will be withdrawn. The measure was adopted in accordance with the provisions of the 1961 Vienna convention on diplomatic relations and reflects the current level of bilateral relations drastically reduced by Romania after the Russian Federation launched the war of aggression against Ukraine, the Romanian Foreign Ministry announced.<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>TIFF<\/strong> &#8211; Cluj (north-west of Romania) is, for ten days, the capital of international cinema, hosting a new edition of the Transylvania Film Festival &#8211; TIFF. Almost 200 films will be screened, 12 being in the official competition. Famous actors and directors from the country and abroad have announced their presence. Among them the American director Oliver Stone, the Australian actor Geoffrey Rush and the British actor Timotis Splash. Inspired by real events that happened in Sibiu in December 1989, &#8220;Libertate&#8221;, the latest film made by the Romanian director Tudor Giurgiu, will have its world premiere at TIFF. The Romanian actor Hora\u0163iu M\u0103l\u0103ele, who will perform in Cluj, will receive an excellence award during the festival. <\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p>&#13;<br \/>\n&#13;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Statistics<\/strong> &#8211; The European Union\u2019s economy registered an increase of 0.1% in the first quarter of this year, compared to the similar period of 2022, according to data published by the European Statistical Office, Eurostat. The most significant annual advance was registered by Spain, Cyprus, Malta, with over 3%, and Romania, with 2.8%. Although the European Union managed to narrowly avoid recession, the euro zone, which includes 20 states, registered two consecutive quarters of economic contraction, by 0.1%, thus entering a technical recession.
