His Royal Highness Prince Radu on Friday urged the representatives of the National Students' Council, present at the Elisabeta Palace, not to exclude their colleagues from Moldova or other countries from the organisation's projects.
"I would like to say one more thing about your generation. Unlike my generation, Romanian students are no longer all in Romania. You have colleagues who study in our sister country, Bessarabia (the Republic of Moldova, ed.n.), you have colleagues who also study in other countries around us, where there are Romanian communities with families with children of the same age, in Ukraine or in Serbia or in Bulgaria or in Hungary. But above all, you have colleagues from your street, from your family, from your community, who are in enormous numbers in the European Union and in other countries on other continents, so many that I believe, without having an exact figure, that, in reality, one in three Romanians is outside the country. This means that your organisation is not a National Students' Council, but, for objective reasons, it is an International Students' Council," said Prince Radu.
On behalf of Her Majesty Margareta, His Royal Highness Prince Radu hosted an evening dedicated to the National Students' Council at Elisabeta Palace, according to agerpres.ro.
"It is impossible that in your ideals and aspirations you do not take into account the fact that there are some of your brothers, of your colleagues, who are in Chisinau, London, Turin, Madrid or Toledo without having wished to be there. They are too young to decide what their parents or grandparents should do, they got there because life brought them there. What you do for your generation, you do for them. And please, just as I ask each generation that passes here, when you do the projects of the year, please do not exclude those from Chisinau or Balti, from Ungheni or Cahul, because they have not been asked where they wanted to be born. So they have no reason to be excluded or punished just because they live on a Romanian land that is temporarily under a different administration from ours. It is not even that different anymore," Prince Radu added.
Prince Radu expressed the respect of the Royal Family for the "verticality and responsible attitude" that the members of the National Students' Council have in society.
In her speech, the president of the National Students' Council, Bianca Ivan, expressed her respect for the Royal Family of Romania, under whose High Patronage the organisation functions.
The meeting at the Elisabeta Palace was attended by representatives of students from all over the country, teachers, parents, members of non-governmental organisations.
The National Students' Council, an organization established in 2007 as a consultative body of the Education Ministry, has been under the High Patronage of Her Majesty Margareta since 2017.
