“Kimpeanu, resign! The defender of plagiarists, who is a plagiarist himself, has nothing to do even for a second at the head of the Ministry of Education. The latest investigation by journalist Emilia Sherkan shows in black and white how Sorin Kimpeanu not only copied chapters from the works of other university professors in a university course , but then fraudulently appropriated their work,” Drula wrote on Facebook.

In his opinion, Kimpeanu did nothing but legislative work in the interests of plagiarists.

“Cimpeanu, who recently stated that he does not see a ‘legally valid’ definition of plagiarism, is a duplicitous plagiarist who has only legislated in the interests of plagiarists, implicitly in his own interests. Drafts of new laws on education are the clearest evidence in this sense. For all this, Kimpeanu must go,” said the USR leader.

According to PressOne, “Education Minister Sorin Kimpeanu appropriated in 2006, with minor changes,” 92 pages from the work of two scholars he had signed on as a fourth author in 2000, nine pages from a university course.

In response, the minister states that the rate “blocks” new education laws.
