“This year marks a special moment in the history of our country because October will mark the 100th birth anniversary of King Michael I of Romania,” the senator added.

“King Michael is a symbol of our people’s struggle for a return to democracy, for a Constitution that guarantees the rights and freedoms of all, equality before the law, for a normal life among the free and united peoples of Europe and, obviously, an excellent model, through the speech full of decency and diplomacy, for those who have to plead the cause of Romania anytime and anywhere,” Alina Gorghiu said.
The speech given by King Michael in the Romanian Parliament on 25 October 2011, on the occasion of his 90th birthday, represents one of the most important moments in the history of the Romanian Parliament.
“The royal crown is not a symbol of the past, but a unique representation of our independence, sovereignty and unity.”
„I do not see today’s Romania as a legacy from our parents, but as a country that we borrowed from our children. So help us God!”, King Michael said ending his speech.
