France and Romania have always enjoyed a special relationship, thanks to the undeniable love of French-speaking countries among a large proportion of the Romanian population. The values advocated by the Francophonie are peace, democracy and human rights, cultural diversity, solidarity for development and the diversity of countries that share the French language. These values prompted Romania to join the Institution of La Francophonie in 1991, first as an observer, then as a full member of the Organisation Internationale de la Francophonie (OIF) from 1993.
So what exactly is a posted worker? What's behind the term, and what are its specific features? Here are some answers.
Romania finds itself in a unique situation: Romanian intellectuals and political elites have freely chosen French as the idiom of a free, modern Europe, representative of free nations. This foundation, built on almost 200 years of shared culture and civilization, is so passionately preserved that it has withstood the very precarious conditions imposed on it by the totalitarian years.
Indeed, Romanians' growing interest in France dates back to the 18th century, when Prince Fanario ruled the Ottoman Empire. In the "Academy" set up by the Phanariots, teaching was in Greek and textbooks were translated from French.
These included the Romanian publications of 1771-1772, the translation of several of Voltaire's works directly from French, followed by the Romanian translation of Fénélon's Aventures de Télémaque in 1772. In 1776, following Prince Alexandre Ypsilanti's educational reforms in Wallachia, French became a compulsory subject in Bucharest's higher schools. A language of thought and culture, French was adopted by the secretaries of the reigning princes of Moldavia and Wallachia.
Today, some 15% of the Romanian population speak French partially and some 8% speak French fluently, i.e. around 3 million people. These French-speaking populations are mainly to be found in the major urban centers, in the east (Lasi / Galati / Suceava) and in the south of the country (Bucharest / Craiova / Pitesti / Buzau).
Romania's advantage in terms of the French-speaking world lies in the field of education. Although English remains the first choice of Romanians, over 1,400,000 children choose French as a foreign language, and the country has 8,000 French teachers. Even so, "Today, everyone learns a simplified form of English," says Christophe Gigaudaut, Director of the Institut français de Bucarest. The choice comes down to a second or third language, and that's where French comes in. The more Romanians speak French, the more open they are to the world. French-speaking countries are also an asset for Romania's influence abroad. "
