The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Liviu Dragnea, said on Tuesday in the joint plenary meeting that he wants Romania's union with the Republic of Moldova "together in Europe, but as one nation".
"I say openly, simply and explicitly - I want us to unite with Moldova! I want us to be together in Europe but as one nation. Romania was strong when it was united and it will be united and strong. That is our ideal. That is the ideal to assert ourselves in history as a united, free and prosperous nation in which all its citizens feel free, feel proud and have a better life," Dragnea told the solemn session of the Legislature in Bucharest, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the union of Bessarabia with Romania.
He proposed that the plenary hall of the Chamber of Deputies be named "Vasile Stroescu", the first speaker of the reunified Parliament of Greater Romania.
The Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies added that, 100 years after the Great Union, it is our duty not to forget the tragic destiny of the unionist generation and to know the dimension of its sacrifice and not to forget "these crimes and those who ordered them and not forget that resistance to oppression is the highest form of national consciousness."
