The National Unity Party (PUN) requested to decree the day of June 28 a National Day of Mourning and to set up a commission of inquiry into the Crimes of Communism in respect for all those who were displaced from the Romanian area after an ultimatum followed by a military occupation that established one of the most cruel totalitarian regimes in the Romanian area – Communism. The statement was made by PUN president and MP Octavian Țîcu, who is quoted in a press release that is cited by IPN.
On this occasion, PUN staged an event to commemorate the military occupation of June 28, 1940 in front of the Parliament Building. Octavian Țîcu asked to constitute a commission of inquiry into the Crimes of Communism and to bring to justice all those who were accomplice to the establishment of the Communist regime in Bessarabia after June 28, 1940 and after August 22-24, 1944 and to put right a historical injustice.
As to the reintegration of the country, Octavian Țîcu said that immediately after July 11, the new Parliament can vote the Union, while for PUN this has been the key objective since it entered Parliament. PUN is a unionist party that pleads for the reunification of Moldova, the second Romanian state, with Romania and that bases its political actions on the historical memory.
In the same event, PAS MP and candidate Iurie Reniță said the history of Bessarabia has more tragic pages than pages that enable to rejoice. “June 28 is a day of mourning and I think it would be right for the state institutions to declare June 28 a National Day of Mourning. The Soviet occupation didn’t end after 1991, after the declaring of independence. It continues now through its representatives in state institutions, in political parties that are funded by the Kremlin,” stated the MP, urging the people to combine forces for July 11 and to give a firm vote to PUN so that the Romanian state is restored.
