DAY The Day of the Romanians all over the world is a special moment and it has a major emotional, spiritual and cultural dimension, Romanian president Klaus Iohannis says in the message conveyed on this occasion today. According to him, Romania has a large Diaspora, which could represent the force capable of promoting the Romanian values and spirituality in a continuously changing Europe. The Day of the Romanians all over the world is celebrated in the last Sunday of the month of May in order to acknowledge the importance the state attaches to the communities of Romanians living outside the country's borders. In Italy this day has been marked through a series of theatre shows. A team of professors and students from the University of Theatre and Film in Bucharest has kicked off a project entitled, 'A Caravan for the Romanians all over the world', which has already had its first shows in Rome and is going to give more performances in Lazio, Turin, Padua and Venice. In Bucharest, over 300 Romanians from the historical communities and from abroad have attended a three-day event entitled 'Here-There' unfolding under the auspices of the Romanian president. 'Here-There' comprised a series of events staged by the Department for the Romanians All Over the World jointly with the Fine Artists Union in Romania and has brought together artists from Romania and abroad from various fields, like art, design, music and literature.
STRIKE The all-out strike of the Romanian teachers is going to continue into the next week with a fresh protest rally in Bucharest on Tuesday.

The Executive has accepted though a 9% pay rise for the auxiliary staff who are going to get bonuses around 200 euros also in two installments. Trade unions in the country's education system have asked for a 25% pay rise and for wages of 600 euros for beginners. Employees in the primary and secondary education kicked off their protests on May 22nd disgruntled with the low wages and working conditions. Trade union leaders have threatened with more protests unless their claims are met.
MEDAL Romanian rower Ionela Cozmiuc has today reaped gold in LW1x race of the European Championships in Bled, Slovenia.

HOLIDAY Catholic believers in Romania are today celebrating Pentecost, the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the apostles and the other followers of our Lord Jesus Christ. This holiday, which completes the Easter cycle - the Resurrection, the Ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit - is a major Christian event always celebrated on Sundays, fifty days after Easter. On Saturday, hundreds of thousands believers, including the president of Hungary Novak Katalin, participated in the great pilgrimage on Catholic Pentecost in Sumuleu Ciuc, central Romania. The event there brought together Catholics from all over the world, most of them Hungarian-speaking believers, including from countries like Australia and the United States. The pilgrimage in Sumuleu Ciuc boasts a history of 450 years and has at its center the miracle-working statue of Virgin Mary in the Franciscan Church there. Legend has it that around the year 1567, the Transylvanian Prince John Sigismund would have tried to impose Unitarianism to the Roman-Catholic believers who managed to keep their faith with the help of the aforementioned statue. Hundreds of gendarmes, policemen and firefighters have been deployed for the good functioning of the pilgrimage, while the local authorities have imposed traffic restrictions.
