The law mentioned a 50% increase in the salaries of teachers, and the Chamber’s vote was decisive in the matter.

Romanian president Traian Basescu announced Friday that he has promulgated the law. He added the law observes constitutionality criteria and he sees its promulgation as adequate.

Romanian Prime Minister Calin Tariceanu asked politicians and union leaders, Friday evening, to understand that a the 50% hike in teacher salaries will have a catastrophic effect on the economy, and added Romania cannot afford to apply such an irresponsible measure.
