“France has always been our friend and ally, but also a source of authentic European civilization. Ever since the Paşopist generation, the social and institutional westernization of the Romanian people has had French culture and society as its model. And today, France is a trusted ally of Romania, with plans to increase the capacity of our country’s troops – which are due to reach division level by 2027. There is an overtime arc that begins just over a hundred years ago years, when General Henri Berthelot was modernizing the Romanian army. As then, and now we are going through a turbulent period, with threats and challenges, and the security offered by the French troops under the NATO banner is essential for the stability of Romania”, wrote Nicolae Ciucă on his Facebook page.
The liberal leader stated that the ideals of the French Revolution of 1789 are today European realities that must be defended.
“On the occasion of France’s National Day, I wish all French citizens to enjoy and be proud of their country. The ideals of the French Revolution of 1789 are today European realities, which we must defend against the enemies of freedom, equality and fraternity. Live in France!“, concluded Nicolae Ciucă.
