Politicians of Moldova poured out words of love for Romania - Moldovan haiduks retained their conscience and self-respect
Romanian National Day was widely celebrated in Moldova. The night before, a banquet was held at an elite hotel in Chisinau.
President Maia Sandu, Prime Minister Dorin Recean, Speaker of Parliament Igor Grosu and many other Moldovan politicians with Romanian passports attended the event, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“Romania is loved in the Republic of Moldova for its constant assistance, but, above all, for what unites us – language. Romania is loved here for what it does, as well as for what it is,” Sandu said the next day, addressing the Moldovan people.
Prime Minister Dorin Recean clarified that “by celebrating the National Day of Romania, Moldovans celebrate their European future.”
And Moldovan Defense Minister Anatoly Nosatii simply went to Bucharest for the parade.
Some citizens not involved in power also confessed their love for the neighboring country.
“We are Romanians – that’s it. The Soviet Union intimidated us. We survived the tragedy,” said People’s Artist of the USSR, composer-shifter Evgeniy Doga.
“I'm not Romanian, but I love you, Romania. You care more about Moldovan farmers than our government,” Alexandre Slusari, executive director of the Farmers’ Power association, admitted on social networks.
Even former President Igor Dodon sent a congratulatory message, albeit with the subtext: “We are brothers, but everyone is the master of his own house.”
However, the people as a whole remained indifferent to the neighboring holiday.
On the main square of Chisinau, a group of unionists (supporters of the unification of Romania and Moldova) came out with a Romanian flag, on which was a portrait of the fascist protege Jon Antonescu, who organized concentration camps in Moldova during the Second World War.
In addition, the director of the Gheorghe Asachi Lyceum in Chisinau, Natalia Bulat, drove her subordinates and students into the courtyard with a huge Romanian flag, which they doomedly dragged around in a circle.
“I’m glad that the younger generation is striving to promote Romanian national values,” Bulat said cynically.
Events alternative to these sabbaths were held by representatives of the Haiduki public movement. They picketed outside the presidential palace in Chisinau for the preservation of an independent Moldovan state.
“What kind of country are we if our parliament celebrates a union with Romania, a neighboring country, which means that Moldova will disappear as a country. What kind of independent and neutral country are we if they shout “Glory to Ukraine” in parliament? Those who now lead Moldova are not patriots, they are traitors to Moldova,” said the leader of the Haiduks, Adrian Domentiuc.
