The Republic of Moldova is celebrating today's birthday. It celebrates 27 years since the symbolic and important event of August 27, 1991, when our country declared its independence. The feast began with the traditional flower depositions, first at the Mourned Mother Monument at the Eternity Memorial Complex in the capital.

Subsequently, the officials went to the monument of Stephen the Great, and there they honored the state anthem.

The holiday program continued with the People's Port Parade, attended by over 50 folk groups.

In unusual costumes came the members of Firicel Basil ensemble from Popeştii de Jos village, Drochia district.

"The dress with the skirt, which is at the edge with this drapela and takes, which is made up of the rivers and just to be crowned on the sleeve and in front of it, "said Silvia Jaman, the headmaster of the threat ensemble of basil.

Many glimpses also attracted the port of artists who came from the city of Comrat.

"It is the Gagauz costume made up of dress, handkerchief and apron," said Erica Opsapun, folk ensemble Cadânja.

The 27 years of independence of Moldova have been marked, however, in a tense atmosphere. While hundreds of people participated in the popular harbor parade, several demonstrators gathered in the center of the city today by several political parties blasted and insulted them.

This has displeased some people who came to the feast.

"It is a national day for all the people, not just for us, and I do not know why this happens," said Mihai Popovici, the Vatra ensemble. "We have never seen such resistance, so hate. We want to calm down," said Veronica Curmei, the Vatra ensemble.

"I came to worship Stephen the Great, I brought flowers and walked around the Parliament, that's not beautiful." There are young children, who are alcoholic or drugged and screaming, and pay them to make a noise. problems are being made by protesters, Năstase and Maia Sandu".

"It's not like this, to make protests, but not today." They tangled to make it in the Great National Assembly Square, like people, and I came to look, but not too, we surrounded half of town until we arrived.

"The feast must be a feast, the civilized protests. Today it must be the popular harbor, the feast, the joy, I understand."

The program of the celebration continued at Nicolae Sulac National Palace with a concert dedicated to Independence Day. Artists staged from our country, but also from Romania.
