Thousands of employees in various Romanian economic sectors threatened to stage and continue massive rallies unless their demands are solved.
Some 15,000 employees in the education sector are expected to protest Wednesday, June 1, in Bucharest, displeased with the outcome of negotiations held Monday at the Labor Ministry.
Also, some 300 members of the Romanian agriculture union federation AGROSTAR will be protesting Tuesday for three hours in front of the presidential Cotroceni palace, against the lack of policies in agriculture, the lack of a collective labor contract, which they have been requesting for five years, the current provisions of the hunting law, as well as against delays in the payment of subsidies.
Protests also target the sub-financing of the entire agricultural sector, the lack of fiscal predictability, as well as delayed subsidy payments in the agricultural sector. (Puterea)
Former PM Ponta Brings Serious Accusations Against President Iohannis
Former prime minister Victor Ponta recently said President Klaus Iohannis used some innocent dead people to instate his government.

Ponta added that Iohannis would keep dropping in the polls due to the “faulty activity” of his Executive.
Ponta pointed out that in November 2015, people’s confidence in Iohannis stood at 60%, whereas currently, the confidence level reaches 30% and it will stop at 10%. (Evenimentul Zilei)
President Klaus Iohannis Denounces Communist Crimes
Romanian President Klaus Iohannis expressed concern over a halt in investigations into the crimes of the former communist regime and called for a resumption of inquiries, arguing the crimes of the anti-communist Revolution of 1989 must not go unpunished.
Iohannis made this statement on Monday, May 30, at the inauguration of the “Aripi” (Wings) monument in the Free Press Square of Bucharest, a symbolic victory over the abuses of the communist dictatorship.
Iohannis also said he supports the creation, as soon as possible, of a National Museum of Communism, because the young generations ought to know the ideology, history and legacy of a totalitarian regime.
The President pointed out that in 45 years of communist dictatorship, Romanians were for decades told a lie about the history of their nation.
At the end of the inauguration, Iohannis laid a wreath at the monument. (Puterea)
