Prime Minister Florin Citu says that the power to achieve our objectives, as a nation, lies in our unity, a message addressed on the occasion of the 162nd anniversary of the Union of Romanian Principalities, according to AGERPRES. The Union of the Romanian Principalities under the leadership of Alexandru Ioan Cuza reminds us that the power to achieve our goals, as a nation, lies in our unity. We were able to return to freedom and democracy while being united against the dictatorship, in December 1989. We have shown that we can stop serious slippage, we can save democracy, when an illegitimate and oppressive power has acted against its own people. And also together we will succeed in protecting the health of the people, of us all, and to recover economically after the pandemic. Happy birthday to all Romanians!, wrote Florin Citu, on Sunday, on his Facebook page.

The 162nd anniversary of the Union of Romanian Principalities is marked on Sunday in the entire country by various events. Local authorities have chosen to celebrate the Little Union through small ceremonies, in accordance with the restrictions imposed in the context of the pandemic. Cultural institutions in the country also mark the anniversary with plays, but also with concerts, most of which are broadcast online, according to AGERPRES.
Every year, on January 24, Romania celebrates the Union of the Romanian Principalities Day, marking the moment of the union of Moldavia with The Romanian Country (1859) under the leadership of ruler Alexandru Ioan Cuza (1859 - 1866). This major event in the history of our country was the first step taken in achieving a united Romanian state.

The legacy left to us by the architects of the union of 1859, both institutional and symbolic, represents the solid foundation on which to continue Romania s modernization, President Klaus Iohannis said on Sunday, in a message occasioned by the 162nd anniversary of the Union of the Romanian Principalities. Today we pay homage to the triumph of the ideal of the Union of Romanian Principalities in 1859. In a truly historical political and social symbiosis, the people and elites of the time imposed their goal inside and outside the borders: the unity of Romanians in the two Principalities, Moldavia and Tara Romaneasca, said Klaus Iohannis.
