Senate Chairman Calin Popescu-Tariceanu this Friday expressed his satisfaction for having succeeded, through the act he put his signature on a few years ago, to bring the day of May 10 back to the place it deserves, among the nation's great holidays; Tariceanu added that increasingly more Romanians should understand the role of the monarchy in the development of the nation.
He also voiced his desire to see the revival of the May 10 'Flower Battle' tradition.
"If I were to regret something, it's the fact that we lost the tradition of the avenue flower battles that took place on every May 10. Today, unfortunately, we have too much grown into the habit of fighting with words and even with the fists. Perhaps it wouldn't be bad to revive one day the tradition of a wonderful celebration that should fill our souls and leave the streets laid with lilac, tulips and carnations, for the Romanians to rejoice and laugh wholeheartedly. What do you say, do I wish too much?," the Senate Chairman concludes.
