Thousands of teachers took to the streets of Romania’s capital as the biggest education strike in almost two decades approached its third week and the government struggled to reach a deal with union negotiators.
Some 10,000 people joined the demonstration in central Bucharest Friday to demand a pay hike and better working conditions, according to local media. It was the third such gathering since the teachers’ strike began May 22.
