The Romanian Minister of Education, Sorin Costreie, addressed school violence incidents, particularly a stabbing case in Bistrita involving a seventh grader. He advocates for special legal penalties for assaults on teachers, highlighting the influence of online extremism on youth. Costreie expressed concern over the increasing violence among younger students and emphasized the need for educational reforms that focus on understanding rather than rote memorization. He also noted that the aggressor, a 13-year-old, had accessed harmful online content. Following the incident, the injured teacher underwent surgery, while the attacker was placed in psychiatric care.
