Maia Sandu: We are grateful to the first president, Mr. Mircea Snegur
The Republic of Moldova is losing not only a founding father, but also a true politician, said the head of state Maia Sandu at the commemoration rally of the country's first president. Mircea Snegur took on the mission of turning people's desire to live freely into reality, said Maia Sandu.
"With the passing away of the former president, the country loses not only a founding politician, the country loses a true politician. He dedicated himself entirely to building the state of the Republic of Moldova. His true words, "Long live Independent Moldova", spoken on August 27, 1991, conveyed to the whole world that the people's expectation is to place Moldova on the map of the free world”, said Maia Sandu.
Condolence messages were also sent by the deputy in the first Parliament of the Republic of Moldova, Constantin Tampiza, who was with Mircea Snegur until the last moments of his life. According to him, the first president of the country passed away with a feeling of gratitude for the doctors who took care of him.
Mircea Snegur died on September 13, at the age of 83.
