Educated Romania, the accession to the Schengen area and the construction of the two highways that will connect Moldova to Transylvania and the rest of the country remained in these promises to the political leaders of Romania made to the citizens on the occasion of the 164th anniversary of the Union of the Romanian Principalities, as it turns out. from their speeches delivered in Bucharest, Focsani and Iasi.

Klaus Iohannis forgot to mention that the promise regarding an Educated Romania given since assuming the first mandate of the country’s president, in December 2014, and that only in 2022 will the outline of legislation leading to the implementation of this concept, legislation that has not yet passed into the past . total vote of the Parliament.

• Ciucă and Ciolacu, booed in Iasi by voters and AUR sympathizers
The leaders of the governing coalition, Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă and Marcel Ciolacu – the president of the PSD and the president of the Chamber of Deputies – chose to celebrate the anniversary of the “small union” in Iasi, where part of the more than 7,000 participants chose to boo them both during speeches. outfits. It is about the voters and sympathizers of AUR, the parliamentary political formation that organized a Union march yesterday in Iasi.
In his speech, Nicolae Ciucă recalled that the current PNL-PSD-UDMR government has unblocked the projects and works on the highways that will connect Bucharest to Iași and Transylvania to Moldova.
“Romania is today facing an important stage for our future. The common stake is closely related to the development at an accelerated pace and the consolidation of the place among the developed states of Europe and the whole world. society, concretely means the ability to offer a better life good as a Romanian, without leaving anyone behind the lines of development. The government I lead has made significant progress. Because in Iaşi, I would like to refer to the Moldovei Highway, A7, which has been awaited for many years by citizens and which, finally, it has clear prospects of achievement. Funding is provided by the National Recovery and Resilience Plan, most of them are already contracted, and the contractors are at the beginning of the work. The way we manage to advance this project in the short period in which we put it back among the priorities is another example that together we can set things in motion, units of desire for the better. A8, Autostrada Unirii, Târgu-Mureş-Iași-Unghen and will strengthen, through the European funding that Romania benefits from, Moldova’s development opportunities,” said Prime Minister Nicolae Ciucă.
The head of government also referred to the security guarantees offered by NATO and the strategic partnership with the United States of America in the current regional security context and accused the extremist political movements in our country that seek to change Romania’s European and North Atlantic trajectory.
“We recognize them easily, because the speeches promoted by their leaders promote hatred instead of good understanding, fear instead of actions, misinformation instead of truth, condemnation instead of justice by law. Democratic societies, however, have their own rejection mechanisms based on the roots . deep and the lessons offered by history. In addition, in the case of Romania, balance and social wisdom, the strong support of European and Euro-Atlantic values act as a real catalyst around democratic freedoms,” said Nicolae Ciucă, to the boos of AUR sympathizers and voters.
His coalition partner, Marcel Ciolacu, stated that when the Romanians were united, they managed to realize the great policies of the nations, and the current ideal is the accession to the Schengen area.
“When we were all united, people and leaders, we made Little Union. When we were united, we made Romania Great. When we were united, we got rid of the dictatorship. All together, united, we will not find reliable allies. to defend the security of the country with the accession to NATO and the European Union. Unity is the solution. done in the last year, literally, not on paper, uniting all the regions of the country through highways, because only together with the same goals we can continue to attract more many European funds. Together we can grow the Romanian economy. I urge you, therefore, to distinguish everything that is not often and united to pursue with common objective perseverance the economic growth and the increase in the living of the Romanians”, said Marcel Ciolacu.
The social democratic leader ignored objections from AUR members and continued to call for national unity.
Unfortunately, Educated Romania and the highways to Moldova will not become a reality either this year, and probably not even on the anniversary of the Union of Principalities on January 24, 2024, while accession to the Schengen Area seems to be the only goal achieved during 2023, on the condition that Austria and Western states, which keep hidden their opposition to the premium in the respective area of Romania and Bulgaria, agree to abandon the double political standard practiced inside the European Union, a supranational body that is still divided by national interests.
