What does gold say about the measures imposed by Daniel David
“Instead of bringing stability and quality, the measures imposed by Daniel David deepen the chaos and condemn the future of this nation to mediocrity. The teachers are subjected to huge pressures by increasing the didactic norm and by masked dismissions, students and students lose essential scholarships, and hundreds of schools in the rural environment are threatened with a social and social economy. supports Senator Gold Petrișor Peiu.
He also accuses that Daniel David “lied to public opinion, censored scientific reports and promoted a policy of brutal austerity, while the political clients of the government prosper of overvalued contracts.”
“Romania has come to allocate education only 3.16% of GDP, one of the lowest percentages in the European Union. The results are visible: low examination, high functional illiteracy and increasing inequities between urban and rural,” says Peiu, according to a gold press release.

The Minister of Education threatens to resign
The Minister of Education, Daniel David, told Digi24 on Saturday that he will resign from office if the simple motion on Education, deposited by gold, will be adopted by the Parliament.
“Without any discussion, yes, because I want to be very clear or I want to point two things starting from what you said. One, these measures were coalition measures. They were assumed in a governing program. Those who represent that governance program do not support them, I have no reason to support them and I think that I am quiet at this moment.
I did what I needed for the country, with the spray or the attack I received in the image, what I built professionally, because the salaries and scholarships are covered (…). So, if after the simple motion, although I am not obliged and the prime minister is not obliged to ask my resignation or to resign, I no longer have to be a minister to support a program of a coalition, who I see-or who could-not assume it, “said the minister, quoted by Agerpres.
Daniel David added that he could only remain in office if he will have the support of the ruling coalition to move from a austerity to a reform logic.
“At this moment, I can stay to be a minister who begins to go from the reform logic, but I want to see that the coalition is with me. Or, if it is no longer with me, it is, I have done my duty, the system has been saved, I can leave,” he said.
