VISIT The presidents of Romania and Chile, Klaus Iohannis and Gabriel Boric respectively have agreed to develop cooperation between the two countries in fields like trade exchanges, investment, green energy, the environment and climate change, civil protection, education, culture, research, innovation and digitalization. The two high officials met at the La Moneda Palace in Santiago, during a visit, which is part of the Romanian president's South-American tour. Iohannis said that Chile is one of Romania's traditional partners in Latin America as well as an economic partner with a major potential. Iohannis has announced that the first Romanian language lectureship in South America will be set up this year at the University of Chile. A memorandum has also been signed during Iohannis' visit to Chile for cooperation in emergency situations, such as earthquakes and wildfires. Iohannis has visited Brazil and will leave for Argentina.
GOLD Romanian athlete Nicoleta Anghel walked away with gold from the European Wrestling Championships in Croatia after a win against Turkish opponent Buşe Tosun in the 72 kilogram category. This has been Anghel's best performance so far after the bronze medal she reaped in Kaspiysk, Russia and the world's third performance she obtained last year in Belgrade. Anghel has also brought the second continental title for Romania that she won in Zagreb after that claimed by Andreea Beatrice in the 55 kilogram category. Romania has so far won four medals, all in the women's contest, two gold and two bronze, claimed by Catalina Axente in the 76 and Kriszta Tunde Incze in the 65 kilograms category.
STRIKE Trade unions in Romania's education system have commenced the procedure of gathering signatures for an all-out strike after their claims have been rejected by the authorities. According to a press communiqué released on Saturday, the decision to launch this extreme form of protest is all the more so justified as under the latest emergency ordinance on new fiscal-budgetary measures, the government intends to implement more measures with an additional negative impact for the employees in the country's education system. Several major trade unions in the field are going to again picket the headquarters of the Romanian government over 25th and 26th of April and stage a protest march, which is expected to be attended by 15 thousand trade unionists on May 10th.
