Romanian from the diaspora: “In the most chaotic electoral bitch, it is for the first time in 35 years when I vote with sincere joy and conviction” / “I also vote with my grandmother”

“I did not miss the vote until 2000, in Romania, nor after the establishment in Canada, where I have, for over two decades, the right to vote in the adoptive country,” writes Luiza Mureșeanu, a Romanian established over the Atlantic.

“From my grandmother I learned the decency, the moral values ​​and the love of God. I also learned that Russia is a danger to Romania. She knew very well how it was with Bolshevism on the border. The destructive regime that threw Romania in the dark came on the Russians' tanks in 1944,” says Luiza Mureșeanu.

“Grandma knew history and politics like no one else and deepened the Soviet regime”

“That's why, I also vote with my grandmother in my mind. The grandmother from Suceava, who was born on the day the First World War broke out and was broken after almost a hundred years. Grandma knew history and politics like no one else and deepened communism and Soviet regime.”

Romanians from the US and Canada voted, as a rule, quite a bit. Now, however, the growth figures there are impressive.

Luiza Mureșeanu will vote in Toronto. “The whole family-including adult children-we are voters. Friends around me, many who have never voted, go to vote. I know people who have renewed their passports for years just to vote now. We have three days to vote. Let's make them memorable.”

“I vote for the freedom of expression and for the undeniable freedom of the press. There is no freedom and democracy without free press; it is not accidental that the press was called the” security dog ​​”of democracy. The alternative is the dictatorship, ”she says.

“Paradoxically, a part of the Ceausesi enthusiasts did not even live in that regime”

“The press is subjected to unprecedented abuses by some of those who should defend it. I was a journalist in Romania in the 1990s. Not even Corneliu Vadim Tudor told the press that he would be on the verge of disappearance-and he was saying a lot. We are witnessing today, in the highest democratic force – Parliament – at daily insults and insults to journalists ”.

“Romania has made great progress after 2007. Many do not see or ignore them. Many deny them and seek relief in a deceased, sad memory, which it glorifies through lies. Paradoxically, a part of the Ceausesh enthusiasts have not even lived in that regime. To choose a realistic way, which can provide construction, and even the process,”
