PDM president Vlad Plahotniuc has congratulated the Moldovan children and citizens on the first day of spring with the Mărţişor’s holiday.

Mărţişor is traditionally celebrated by attaching white-red amulets on the chest.   

"May the first spring day be full of smiles, bring hope, joys and a better life, as well want here in Moldova," said Vlad Plahotniuc in a post on Facebook. 

The PDM leader has said the children from the socially vulnerable families, supported by Edelweiss, have already prepared the amulets heralding the beginning of the spring: "They deserve that we think of them as of the nicest snowdrops, we should help them peacefully enjoy all the seasons."
