PM Dancila: My thought goes to Revolution martyrs and their families

Prime Minister Viorica Dancila said in a Saturday's release, on the occasion of the Victory Day of the Romanian Revolution and Freedom, that her thought goes to the Revolution martyrs and their families, and to all those who made possible the change of Romania's path.

"29 years ago, the Romanian people wrote one of the most impressive pages in the history of Romania in the 20th century, by their own will and full unity of 'mind and sentiment' - the Revolution of December 1989. Today, my thought goes to the martyrs of the Revolution and to their families and to all those made possible the change of Romania's path. On behalf of the Government, I express my respect for the sacrifice and appreciation for the courage of those who faced the repressive regime. This day invites to reflection both the mature generations, who witnessed the Revolution, as well as the young ones, who did not live those days and to whom I wish to never have such an experience but to live in full peace," Viorica Dancila said in a press release sent to AGERPRES.

She also pointed out that "mature and young, we have a duty to defend the values for which the heroes of the Revolution fought and to understand that together we can build a better future for the generations to come."

At the same time, the prime minister said she is convinced that we would know to be respectful of the past and wise with the present and the future, so that Romania will become forever a "country of good, beauty and truth".

"My homage to the martyrs of the Romanian Revolution of December 1989!", the prime minister also said, according to the press release.
