"I wish you all that, not just on January 24 and December 1, but in every day of the year too, remember that we are more powerful when staying united and that disunity is our only enemy," said Ponta.

Moreover, the head of the state wanted to pay an homage to Iasi and Moldova, "to those who more than 150 years ago and ever since have sacrificed their local interests for the idea of unity."

"The fact that this year, for the first time, the Romanian Parliament has recognized by law the day of January 24 as a national celebration represents just one of the moral compensations that Iasi and Moldova deserve and I believe that the debt of Bucharest, and of the rest of the country as well, to them, is still far from being paid," said Victor Ponta.

In the end of the manifestations dedicated to the Romanian Principalities Union Day, the Prime Minister laid a wreath at the statue of Prince Alexandru Ioan Cuza in the Union Square in Iasi. AGERPRES
