Social Democratic Party (PSD) Senator Titus Corlatean stressed, in this context, that Parliament will have a special session dedicated to the Romanian Revolution on Thursday.
"Tomorrow, according to the decision of the joint Standing Bureaus, with all due respect, we have a special session of the two Houses of Parliament dedicated to the moment of the Romanian Revolution and to pay tribute to the memory of those who sacrificed for freedom. These lies about the refusal to hold a moment of silence, these are absolutely unacceptable issues, and we are at a time when, at some point, there will be a pay time for all these kinds of manipulations and lies. Tomorrow is the officially scheduled time through which the Romanian Parliament will mark the victory of the Romanian Revolution," said Corlatean, Agerpres informs.
