Prime minister Marcel Ciolacu on Saturday sent a message on the occasion of Passover to the leadership of the Federation of Jewish Communities in Romania – The Mosaic Cult, members of the Jewish communities in Romania, as well as to all Jews around the world.
„This holiday is not only about commemoration, but also about spiritual rebirth and renewal, about solidarity,” the head of the Executive said.
Marcel Ciolacu stated that the Passover or Pesach holiday has a strong symbolic charge.
„It marks the liberation of the Jewish people from Egyptian slavery and the beginning of a path to freedom and dignity. It is a moment of reflection on the past, which teaches us that freedom is built through faith and the courage to move forward even in the face of the unknown,” said the prime minister.
The head of Government also referred to the current situation. „In these times, I want us all to remember that each of us – authorities or citizens – has the duty and obligation to ensure a present, but also a dignified and free future for Romanian society. But this will not be possible if we remain indifferent to hatred, prejudice and anti-Semitism. The Romanian Government remains firmly committed to combating these phenomena, as well as to respecting, protecting and promoting fundamental human rights and freedoms,” Ciolacu underscored.
