That January 24 united us, laid the foundations and it has a special significance for those of us who are now separated from the country, from the Romanian people. I came from Straseni, it’s 35 km, it’s not so much for this holiday “, Nicolae Robu from Straseni told.

“163 years ago, by a wise decision of the then Legislatures, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected prince of Moldova and lord of Wallachia, thus laying the foundations of modern Romania. At the same time, this year is an extremely important one, because today we also celebrate 160 years since the date when the first Government of Romania leads Barbu Catargiu came into office (…). That moment laid the foundations of modern Romania, of democratic Romania, a Romania that was created around the Romanian nations. It is an opportunity to say that we will continue to believe in our dear Romania, modern Romania, democratic Romania, Romania which is currently a member of the European Union and NATO and Romania which has, is and will always be with the Republic Moldova, which we also want with us, in the great European family”.
