They teach us that it is important to respect each other if we want to live in peace and understanding. Let us know and respect the Constitution, appreciating the opportunity to be free and equal before the law. It's our social contract - it's the handshake that inspires us to build a better common future for the next generations of Moldovans", reads the message posted by Maia Sandu on the Facebook page.
