MPs of first Parliament to stage rally on Independence Day

The Association “Parliament 90” will hold a meeting in front of the monument to Stephan the Great in Chisinau on August 27, dedicated to the Independence Day or, officially, the Republic’s Day and to the 20th anniversary of the first Great National Assembly. On this occasion, “Parliament 90” called on the democratic parliamentary parties to actively participate in the celebration of the 20th anniversary of the holding of the first Great National Assembly and of the adoption of the linguistic legislation, Info-Prim Neo reports. “August 27 and August 31, 1989 represented a turning point for our history and it is our duty to mark these historical events and the return to democracy and European integration,” the Association’s president Pantelei Sandulachi said at a news conference on Thursday. The meeting will start at 10.00 with laying of flowers to the monument to Stephan the Great. Later, the MPs of the first legislative body will deliver speeches on the importance of the proclamation of independence. There will be also adopted a resolution. The former MPs will ask that the public TV channel rebroadcast the footage of the first Great National Assembly so as to remind the people about their aspirations. Alexandru Arsenie, a member of the Association, said that “Parliament 90” will demand that the new Parliament assemble before August 27 so that this even is marked appropriately. He recommended the new MPs not to repeat the mistakes of the first Parliament and to remove the politically biased civil servants. According to the former MPs, the attempt to change the Independence Day into the Republic’s Day represents defiance of the historical truth. “The Communists Party intentionally neglected and profaned the national holidays, substituting them with such surrogates as the wine holiday and the commemoration of the putsch of November 7, 1917,” it is said in a statement by the Association distributed at the news conference. As to the disappearance of the Declaration of Independence, Pantelei Sandulachi said that they repeatedly asked the Prosecutor’s Office to investigate how it burned because it is unbelievable that such a document of national importance was kept inappropriately. He said that the Declaration could be partly restored if the signatories that are still alive signed it again. Forty-eight of the signatories are dead.
