On Wednesday, the Senators have kept, at the request of the Social Democratic Party (PSD) parliamentary group leader in the Senate, Radu Oprea, a moment of silence in the memory of those who sacrificed themselves in the Revolution of December 1989, Agerpres reports.

„I wish to have a short intervention, because today is 21 December. Because, 33 years ago, on this day, the dictator tried to remain at the leadership of the country convening a great gathering in Bucharest, very close to this location, which, afterwards, turned into a Revolution, although it started from Timisoara, I would ask you, for all those who sacrificed themselves at that time, so that today, we can live in a democratic country, I would ask you to hold that moment of introspection, of reflection, if what those who scarified themselves wanted back then has been completely fulfilled today. But this is a matter of your concern, madams and gentlemen senators, to know if we do things as we should and as they would have wanted. For them, please, let’s keep a moment of silence,” Oprea underscored.
