    George Pruteanu was removed from his job as the Senate's chief commissioner for education. The move was decided at the request of the PNTCD MP group.

Mr Pruteanu is an independent senator since March when he was excluded from the PNTCD following his position (opposite to the PNTCD's) on amendments to the Education Law. The senator was also contested by the UDMR. With 12 votes for and 1 against, Senator Pruteanu was removed from office. PNTCD Senator Florin Bogdan is the new chief commissioner for education in the Romanian Senate. RADOR
