Senate President Mircea Abrudean said in a message marking the Day of the Union of the Romanian Principalities that unity, not division, is 'the key to a healthy state.'
'Unity, not division, is the key to a healthy state, even 167 years after the Little Union. In January 1859, Alexandru Ioan Cuza was elected ruler in both Moldavia and Wallachia, a correct choice, carefully thought through and weighed from a strategic and geopolitical perspective. As then, so today, Europe is undergoing a security realignment and Romania finds itself on a line of strategic pressure on the Black Sea, close to an aggression that has changed defence planning, budgets and industry,' Abrudean wrote on Facebook.
Recalling the events of 1859, the Senate President issued a call for unity.
'In 1859, Romanians united their political decision and created a common command centre. Following that example, we could also see today that together, not divided, we would be stronger and that we still have much to unite: the economic speed of major cities with the real opportunity of small communities, private investment with the administrative capacity of the state, education with the labour market, security with competitiveness. All of us make the difference through unity, through resilience, through intolerance of waste and imposture and through constant pressure for projects to be completed. This is what respect for the Union of 1859 means. Let us use history as a guide for decision, not as an ornament. And our duty as politicians is to stop pretending that we love Romania and actually love it: to create a state that delivers, a safe Romania with strategic partnerships that matter, in the EU and NATO,' Abrudean conveyed.
