'I begin by saying' Happy Birthday to all Romanians, whether you're at home, in Romania or outside the borders. 94 years ago, Romanians wanted to make 'Greater Romania'. That was the message from Alba Iulia. Today, as throughout Europe, we are in a period of economic crisis. I want you to know, and I tell you with all my heart, we will not get through it unless we are united. Do not look at how small the politicians are, they run after the vote, Romanians should run for their country, "Basescu said in his December 1st message, posted on a social networking site.
He said that Romanians should be united and understand that this was the only way they could get through the economic crisis.
'No Romanian will escape the crisis. We either get through together or at all. Let's be united! ', Basescu said.
He urged Romanians to fly a flag on the National Day.
