Thirty-five years ago, on August 27, 1991, we all experienced the joy of great hope. On this day, 277 deputies from the first Parliament voted on a historic document – the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova, thus laying the foundations of the new state. This message was delivered today by Speaker Igor Grosu, who invited citizens to participate in the events dedicated to the 35th anniversary of the proclamation of Independence.

At the opening of the Parliament’s sitting, the official emphasized that the adoption of the Declaration of Independence of the Republic of Moldova was an act of courage and bravery.


“Today we have the honor of knowing the people who wrote history, and one of them is our colleague, Mihail Druță. I thank you, on behalf of the Parliament and personally, for everything you have done for the Republic of Moldova. You are the founding fathers of this state. Thank you!”, said Igor Grosu.


The Speaker also invited citizens to attend the events on Independence Day.
