The deputies from the Parliament of the Republic of Moldova held a minute of silence in memory of the late writer Spiridon Vangheli, also nicknamed "Guguță's Father".
"The past few days, Spiridon Vangheli left us, the one who welcomed us under the blanket of Guguță, where we discovered a world where peace reigns, safety and good understanding between people. A world seen through the eyes of a child is the most beautiful of all possible worlds. In this context, I come with the request to hold a minute of silence", said the Parliament Speaker Igor Grosu.
