Nicolae-Ionel Ciucă, president of the Romanian Senate, is visiting Chisinau in his capacity as president of the National Liberal Party.
The Romanian official started his visit by paying homage to the late poet Grigore Vieru. “His creations still speak to us today about our most important values: the love of nation and homeland. Next to him are now Doina and Ion Aldea Teodorovici, emblematic voices that have become symbols of the national revival of the Republic of Moldova. Let’s always keep them in our memory as valuable cultural and artistic landmarks”, said Nicolae-Ionel Ciucă.
The poet’s son gave the Romanian politician a gift, an original manuscript by Grigore Vieru written in 1971, and a limited edition of poems, which Nicolae-Ionel Ciucă promised to donate to be displayed in the Senate.
Ciucă mentioned that on March 27 the Union of Bessarabia with Romania is celebrated and next week marks the 106th anniversary of this event. “We have come today to honor those who worked hard all their lives to keep alive the memory of the event of 1918. And I think it is important, beyond this gesture of gratitude for what these people did, let’s send a message to the young generation and let the young generation carry on what part of us experienced”, declared the Romanian politician.
