The Minister of Education, Daniel David, reacted after the education unions, FSE Spiru Haret and FSLI, accused him of authoritarianism and demanded his dismissal from the Government. In a statement, David asserted that, being a convinced democrat, he considers the role of unions and their right to protest within democracy to be essential. The unions' accusations came in response to the minister's statements regarding the reform of the union movement, which they perceived as an attack on their autonomy.
The unions characterized David's position as a "manifesto for authoritarianism," thus demanding his dismissal. This situation highlights the tensions between educational authorities and employee representatives in the education sector.
