The Victoria Palace will be lit up in red on Saturday evening as a sign of solidarity with people suffering from Duchenne muscular dystrophy, but the grammatical error in the title of the statement published by the Government drew attention away from the message.

The Romanian government is also participating this year in the global support campaign for those diagnosed with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. The Victoria Palace will be illuminated in red, a symbol of solidarity with patients suffering from this rare disease, according to Click!.ro.
“This year’s theme – Raise your voice for Duchenne – is a call to action to support the rights, inclusion and well-being of people affected by this condition”it is stated in the official release.
The Government’s communique contains, however, an obvious grammatical error right in the title, where a comma appears between the subject and the predicate: : “Victoria Palace will be illuminated in red tonight”.

According to the rules of the Romanian language, the comma is never used between the subject and the predicate, except for cases where we have a statement in the vocative case, where the comma is mandatory for the clarity of the message.
World Duchenne Awareness Day
World Duchenne Awareness Day (WDAD) reaches its 11th edition and is marked annually on September 7, with the aim of promoting social inclusion initiatives and improving the lives of those affected by Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The disease, caused by the lack of a protein called dystrophin, causes a progressive weakening of the muscles and affects the whole body. The Romanian government established, through an emergency ordinance, that young people between 15 and 21 years old can benefit from medical services in adult hospitals, but also in pediatric ones.
