Moldovan MPs congratulated on occasion of Romania's National Day

National-Liberal Party president Vitalia Pavlicenco congratulated her colleagues in the Parliament on the occasion of December 1, the Day of the Great Union of 1918, a national holiday in Romania, Info-Prim Neo reports. “I hope it to be the last year when this message comes from a microphone in the hall, and not from the central microphone,” Vitalia Pavlicenco stated. “I also wish that, in the future, we should have two presidents of two Romanian states, who should really be the presidents of all the Romanians, not as it happens now when the Moldovan president is not the president of Romanians, and the Romanian president prefers only a category of Romanians from Moldova. I hope the presidents of those two Romanian states should be for our benefit, as we want to get into NATO and the EU,” the politician said. Communist MP Arkady Pasechnik responded to Vitalia Pavlicenco's congratulation by saying he addressed the MPs insisting with statements on the two Romanian states. Pasechnik quoted an excerpt from an Austrian-German agreement signed by Austria's chancellor and Hitler in 1938: “The Austrian Government will also guide itself in its policy concerning Germany by the principle that Austria declares itself to be a German state”. “This was the reason for the beginning of anschluss (Austria's annexation by Germany – e.n.)”, a specified the Communist MP. On December 1, 1918, a National Assembly in Alba Iulia adopted a Resolution consecrating the union of all the Romanians from Transylvania, the Banat and the Hungarian country with Romania. December 1, 1918, marks the end of the Romanians' fight for state integrity, coming to crown the former unions of the Basarabians from Basarabia (March 27, 1918) and Bucovina (15/28 November, 1918). After the Romanian revolution of 1989, December 1 became the National Day of Romania.
