"Today we are celebrating the founder of the Social Democratic Party, the promoter of the modern Romania's Social-Democratic values and the only leader who was truly balanced and solidary with the desideratum of Romania's welfare. Happy Birthday to the one whom Adrian Nastase [former PM - editor's note] named "the most wise of the Romanian politicians! Happy Birthday to Ion Iliescu!," reads the message posted on PSD's page on the social network.
