    STRIKE Trade unionists in Romania’s education system are to go on a token
    strike on Wednesday and cease classes for two hours in their schools. The
    protesters have called for pay rises, for the allotment of 6% of the GDP to
    education and the pay for the extra hours worked. Almost 100 trade unionists
    from Romania’s education on Thursday picketed the government building and the
    headquarters of the Social Democratic Party and the National Liberal Party. The
    protest on Thursday was their fourth in front of the government building. On
    Saturday, the Day of National Culture in Romania, artists and organizers of
    various events, mounted protests in Bucharest and Sibiu, in central Romania,
    asking for compensations for their restricted activity during the pandemic. The
    protesters have denounced the lack of coherent measures aimed at supporting the
    sector of culture in Romania, severely affected in the past two years of
    pandemic.








    HANDBALL SCM Ramnicu Valcea, a women’s handball team from Romania, on
    Sunday started off on their right foot with a clear home win 39-29 against the
    Hungarian side Vaci NKSE in group D of the EHF European League. On Saturday in
    group C of the same competition Magura Cisnadie, a women’s handball team from
    central Romania lost away to the Danish side Herning-Ikast Handbold 31-28 while
    in group B, CS Minaur Baia Mare from north-western Romania lost to German side
    BBM Bietigheim 39-20. Also on Saturday, Romania’s champions CSM Bucharest
    secured a 28-20 away win against Montenegrin side Buducnost Podgorica in the
    Champions League. With 10 points out of nine games, the Romanians go up to the
    group’s fourth position and are to meet French side Brest Bretagne in an away
    game on January 19th and take on German side Borussia Dortmund at
    home on January 22nd.








    COVID-19 According to the latest figures released by authorities on
    Sunday, 7595 new Covid-19 infections have been reported in the past 24 hours in
    Romania, 60% more than a week ago. 28 Covid-related fatalities have been
    reported. Experts believe the fifth wave of the pandemic is stronger than the
    previous ones and is to reach its peak in Romania in the last week of January
    or the first of February, when the number of daily cases is expected to go up
    to 50 thousand. The interest of the Romanians in getting the jab is still low,
    with only 36 hundred in the past 24 hours. Epidemiologists are urging the
    people to get immunized because the vulnerable categories are at risk.










    TENNIS Romania has five representatives on the main draw of Australian
    Open, the year’s first Grand Slam tournament. Other Romanians have been
    eliminated from the competition in the qualifiers. In the first round Simona
    Halep, a former number one, will be up against Magdalena Frech of Poland, while
    Sorana Cirstea will be playing Petra Kvitova of the Czech Republic, who has a
    5-3 advantage in head-to-head matches. Another Romanian player, Irina Begu will
    be up against Oceane Dodin of France. Jaqueline Cristian of Romania will be
    playing Greet Minnen of Belgium and Gabriela Ruse will be meeting Jasmine Paolini
    of Italy. British player Emma Raducanu, who has a Romanian father and is the
    defending champion of the US Open will be playing Sloane Stephens of the USA.












    JUSTICE The Ministry of Justice in Bucharest has completed a draft on
    dismantling the Special Direction for investigating criminal offences within
    the judiciary, SIIJ. The institution has announced in a communiqué that in the
    following days it will submit the document for government and Parliament
    approval. We recall that the activity of this special body has attracted
    criticism from the European Commission, which says the SIIJ could be more
    susceptible to interventions from outside than the Anti-corruption Directorate,
    known in Romania as the DNA. The Justice Ministry has announced that it will
    resume the process of amending the justice laws and the criminal codes so that
    they can be approved by Parliament by the end of March. The Ministry of Justice
    reiterates its support for the EU law and legislation stipulated by the Lisbon
    Treaty and recognized by the Romanian constitution.

    TALKS Romania’s designated Prime Minister Ludovic Orban will be
    holding talks with representatives of civil society and state institutions on
    Monday and Tuesday. Orban is expected to have a second round of talks with political
    parties in the next two days to get support for the new cabinet to be sworn in.
    The Prime Minister has already held a round of political talks. In order to be
    sworn in the new cabinet needs 233 votes out of a total 465. On Saturday Orban
    said the National Liberal Party’s objective is to quickly forge a new
    legitimate government, which has serious issues to address. We recall that the
    PSD minority government led by Viorica Dancila was sacked through a
    no-confidence vote.










    BREXIT EU ambassadors have convened on Sunday for talks over the
    UK’s request to delay Brexit after October 31. According to DPA, Brussels’
    answer is not clear yet. The meeting focused
    chiefly on the EU procedures of ratifying the UK’s withdrawal under the
    agreement reached with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson. British Parliament
    on Saturday postponed debates over the Brexit agreement. The MPs wanted to
    block their country’s withdrawal from the union on October 31 without
    stipulations regarding the transition because they believed the legislation needed
    could not be ratified in time. The chamber’s decision was received with
    ovations by the thousands pro-Europeans gathered in front of Parliament to ask
    for a new Brexit referendum. The country’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson opposes
    a new delay but was forced by the Parliament vote to call on the European Union
    for a new extension of the procedure.












    ELECTION The neighboring Republic of Moldova, an ex-soviet
    Romanian-speaking country will today be seeing a round of local election in
    several constituencies, where officials have stepped down. According to Radio
    Chisinau, the most important seems to be the race for the capital’s city hall.
    The main contenders are the pro-European Andrei Nastase and Socialist Ion Ceban
    who have recently become coalition partners. Andrei Nastase, currently the
    country’s Defence Minister, claimed the mayor seat last year but the election
    outcome had been invalidated through a court ruling.












    HANDBALL Romania’s champions Dinamo Bucharest will today take on
    Orel Wisla Plock of Poland in an away match counting towards the Champions
    League. Dinamo tops the table in group D but in the women’s competition, SCM
    Ramnicu Valcea of Romania lost their away match 23-19 to Buducnost Podgorica of
    Montenegro and is currently ranking third in group C. Vice-champions CSM
    Bucharest secured a 35-19 home win against Polish side Perla Lublin and is
    currntly topping the Champions League group B. The first three sides of each
    group will qualify for the competition’s next stage.
