Political party deprives children of the joy to celebrate Children’s Day in the National Assembly Square

For the first time in the last 15 years, the children living in the capital city, as well as their guests, will not celebrate the World Children’s Day in the Great National Assembly Square, because on that day in that place the Christian-Democrat People’s Party will campaign for its candidate for Chisinau Mayor, having this right won after a legal dispute with the Party of Communists. Thus, all the events planned for the celebration of the Children’s Day will be held in the square of the Opera House. Their inauguration will take place at 10:00 and attended by President Vladimir Voronin. Leonid Gorgeac, head of the Municipal Culture Division, told Info-Prim Neo that although the City Hall had to reconsider the schedule of events, the Day will be celebrated with due splendour, even in a narrower place. A varied programme will be offered to children by Mobiasbanca commercial bank, which organises on June 2, starting at 11:00, in the square of the Organ Hall, a “Party for Children”. The organisers promise lots of music, competitions, games, shows, fairy tales and “tons of ice-cream”. On the occasion of the Children’s Day, the Ministry of Social Protection, Family and Child has distributed by means of the Republican Fund and local funds for social assistance aid packages to about 24,000 children. Additionally, financial allowances will be granted from the local administration budgets.
