Did you hear?
Did you hear the charges
against you?
l will only answer
before the Grand National Assembly.
Whatever your masquerade is,
l don't admit these...
lt was your masquerade for 25 years.
lt was your masquerade,
you brought the country
to the brink of disaster.
l don't want to.
l do not recognize this court.
Everything that was said here
is falsh.
...provocation...
lt's ''falsh''! Them was our leaders!
There are 3.5 million apartments.
thousand factories.
''l am not guilty of these charges.''
No! l didn't say anything!
l made no statement!
''l am not guilty of these charges.''
No statement.
We're not making any!
You're not.
That's what we're taking down.
No statement!
l'm not making any...
l'm not saying another word
except before the National Assembly!
Right. ''l am not guilty
of these charges.''
Please write that down.
They can say whatever they want.
l'm not signing anything.
Yes.
We know the situation.
This country's disastrous situation.
And we're not the only ones.
Every single honest citizen
seething
until December 22; 1989...
No, now l'm talking to the defendant,
Ceausescu Nicolae.
Who authorized
the genocide in Timisoara?
Gheorghe Gheorghiu-Dej...
...of the Popular Republic of Romania.
Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu
has the floor.
We shall honor your memory,
dear comrade Gheorghiu
by strengthening the party's unity
and stamina
bringing the people together around
the Party and its Central Committee.
We will triple our emorts
and work with abnegation
for the unabashed accomplishment
of the general Party line.
We shall dedicate our lives
to the cause
of the people's happiness
elevating our homeland
to the highest peaks of Socialism,
We shall fight
with ever more determination
for the triumph of peace,
friendship among peoples,
the unity of the communist movement
and ofworkers all over the world.
Goodbye

and abilities
to the grand goaI
of accomplishing the program

Comrade deputees,
the Grand National Assembly,
having fulfilled,
in this session,
its role of Constituent Assembly,
has the historic mission
of adopting our country's
fundamental law:
the Constitution of the
Socialist Republic of Romania.
Reflecting the present stage
of development of our society,
the Constitution draft;
submitted to the
Grand National Assembly
consecrates
the revolutionary advances
made by the Romanian people
in the 21 years since our liberation,
the definitive victory
of socialism in Romania!
ln all that's beautiful
l just see you
You give happiness a name
when you're with me
ln every song that's ever blossomed
and bore fruit
And in everything
that's new around me
ln the amber of the coming dawn
And in the evening's sapphire
Darling, you're the one l see
Time grips me in its beauty dance
l'm sorry l don't have nine lives
But even if, by some miracle, l did
l know why l couldn't forget you
'Cause in all that's beautiful
l just see you...
l wish you the best
for the new year, 1966!
Europe is the continent where
the two world wars started,
shaking the world
in the first half of this century.
That is why, it is
of utmost importance
to achieve European security.
The recent Bucharest meeting
of the Political Advisory Board
of the Warsaw Treaty member states
has assessed,
based on in-depth analysis
of the state of things
on our continent,
that the conditions are met
in order to take a different approach
to the issue of European security.
Emphasizing the necessity
of incorporating
the historical realities
on our continent,
following the 2nd World War
and the existence
of the two German states,
socialist countries have underlined
that the European security framework
needs to include
the German issue,
including the issue
of Germany's reunification.
The Bucharest declaration
also stipulates a number of measures
in order to relieve
military tensions in Europe
among which, the abolition
of NATO's aggressive bloc
and the Warsaw Treaty alike.
Withdrawing the American troops
and other non-European troops
on our continent,
and all alien troops
within national borders.
HARVEST DAY 1966

This is love,
l'm singing it for the first time
And l'm never gonna forget it
No no no no
Today l'm happy
Today l'm in love
And l'm never gonna forget it

Love comes when you least expect it
lt comes alive in your heart
And you feel your heart
burst into flames
from the longing that's
taken you over.,.

Mister President, we are convinced
that your visit to Romania
signifies a landmark
in the evolution
of Romanian-French cooperation.
On a continent
mostly inhabited by Latin,
German
and Slavic peoples,
we the French have been
from the very beginning
defenders of the West
and you are ''la Romania''!
Most importantly,
Romanians and French
we all want to be ourselves
that is, in the words of Eminescu,
we want the national state,
not the cosmopolitan state.
The Secretary General of the
Czech Communist Party has the floor.
Comrade Alexander Dubcek.
Representatives
of the Socialist Republic of Romania
and of the Socialist
Republic of Czechoslovakia
have signed a treaty
of friendship and mutual aid.
They say about friendship
that it's a matter of the heart.
l believe l am in no way understating
this most humane feeling
if l add that it is also
a matter ofwisdom,
and when relations
between peoples are concerned,
it is also a matter
of great responsibility.
We ask you to convey
to the Romanian people
our most sincere thanks
for the friendship,
symphathy and international support
you are granting us.
We shall respond in kind.
l want once again
to thank you for welcoming me here
and for the flowers l have received.
Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu
has the floor.
Dear comrades and friends,
as you well know,
the Romanian people has saluted,
from the outset,
in full understanding
and sympathy, the ample activity
of the working people
of Czechoslovakia;
led by the Communist Party
onto a new path shaped
during the January Plenaries.
My beliefs were reinforced
by our meeting,
by your smiling eyes,
your warm welcome
to the First Secretary
of the Party's Central Committee,
who is firmly guiding the nation
toward accomplishing
the Party's program.
We wish you every success
in your efforts
toward the multilateral development
of socialist Czechoslovakia
and we take this opportunity
to assure you
of the brotherly solidarity
and support
of Romanian communists,
of the entire Romanian people.
A FRIEND IN NEED
IS A FRIEND INDEED
Please speak slowly
to allow translation,
Go ahead.
How do you envisage, how do you see
the ideological cooperation
among communist parties,
and what does
the Romanian Communist Party
consider to be necessary
for Marxist philosophy
to fluently adapt to the
circumstances of the atomic age?
Cooperation between
communist parties
must start from
the scientific notions
regarding the development
of human society,
from an analysis of social life
through the lenses of dialectic
and historical materialism;
which is the basis
of Marxist-Leninist philosophy.
And with this,
l believe l have also answered
the question about what needs
to be done in the future.
There are two questions
for comrade Ceausescu,
and one for comrade Manescu.
What is the difference
between the Bucharest declaration
on European security
and the Karlovy Vary declaration?
You have both of them. Read them
and draw your own conclusions.
Seeing how the Socialist
Republic of Romania
and the Romanian Communist Party
are the only country and party
on good terms
with all countries and parties,
including the Communist Party
of China, without any contradictions,
the question is, how can the
Romanian Communist Party
what does it
how does it do that?
There is no secret there,
you know.
The Romanian Communist Party
starts from the premise
that among communists
there must be cooperation,
that one party must not inteffere
in other parties' business,
And that where there are
divergent points of view,
issues must be talked through
in the spirit of comradeship,
by acting together
upon what leads us
to common conclusions.
A question for comrade Manescu,
as a representative of socialist
countries in the U.N.:
what is the situation
of the socialist countries
and what are the expectations
of their activity within the U.N.?
First, l do not like to theorize
on the position
l hold in this organization.
However, just so you know,
l confess l would have
liked this question
to be addressed
to the head of our delegation.
Still, since l have permission
to answer
l must say that the position
of the socialist states
in the United Nations Organization
is good,
and that, in general, socialism
has proven
its capacity to participate
in discussing and solving
under proper circumstances
any international issue, inevitably.
On Wednesday, a Soviet newspaper,
Krasnaia Zvezda,
has published an article
by a Polish general,
Baranowski
which expressed his anxiety about
the consolidation of antisocialist
forces in Czechoslovakia,
and he volunteers his support
for the Czechoslovakian party,
people and government.
ln the journalists' circles,
this stand is seen
as an intention or desire
to effect a military intervention
in Czechoslovakia.
Would it not be better to clarify,
within the Warsaw Treaty,
when exactly it is necessary
to provide military aid
to another country?
The treaty is very clear
on that point.
There is no need
for further clarification.
lt is created to offer support
against alien attacks
by an imperialist country against
a member state of the Treaty.
The five socialist countries' invasion
into Czechoslovakia
is a big mistake
and a severe threat
to peace in Europe
and to the fate of socialism
in the world,
WE STAND BY
THE CZECHOSLOVAKIAN PEOPLE
There is no justification
and no reason
to accept,
for even a second,
even the idea
of a military intervention
in the internal affairs
of a kindred socialist state,
The issue
of choosing
the path to building socialism
is a choice of each party,
each state,
each people.
No one
can claim
to advise,
to direct
the manner in which
socialism is built,
We must, now and for good,
put an end to interference
in the affairs of other countries,
other parties!
lt was said that the danger
of counter-revolution
loomed in Czechoslovakia.
Tomorrow,
perhaps they will find people
to claim that even our meeting
displayed
counter-revolutionary tendencies.
We must answer one and all
that the Romanian people
will not allow anyone
to tresspass on our land!
Ceausescu, Ceausescu...
Good?
Long live
the Romanian-American friendship!

The measures we take
in the areas of ideology,
culture and education
will surely signify a landmark
in bridging the gaps
in this field,
in improving the ideological activity
which is to contribute
to transforming
communist conscience
into a huge revolutionary force
of our society.
The theater belongs to the people,
as do the plowed fields
and the factories.
lts fruit can only be picked
by the many who crave it,
the fruit to match
the taste and needs
of the many,
not the unpredictable taste and whims
of the theater and of the few.
Socialist theater can only be
a theater of socialist society,
of a world of one faith only,
one homeland only,
one ideal of beauty,
good and truth,
the communist ideal.
That is clearly
and illuminatingly explained
in comrade Ceausescu's speech
of June the 9th,
That is what the party
and country say
through his voice.
Lately, perhaps,
those who do research
have become too closed in
inside their labs and offices,
they read a lot and too much
and yet, closed in
from everyday living practice,
they have become sterile.
This is a prompt, then,
that to rich scientific information
we add a deep understanding,
that we contribute,
through our activity,
to constructive work,
to practical work.
That is one of the main prompts.
l believe that for writers
it is imperative
that we do what
we are urged to do,
with conviction and courage;
and above all
with the openness toward truth
that must reside
in every progressive act.
ln the near future,
in the transportation
and construction companies,
in our state-owned
agricultural companies
for the mechanization
of agriculture,
as well as in research
and development institutes,
we want to have specialized boards
and committees
attached to
the Workers' Committees,
also under the management
of the Party structures
of these organizations.
Thus we will have
workers' auditing councils,
committees for the organization
of production and labor;
committees for savings
and productive management,
committees for the mechanization
and automatization of production,
committees for production quality,
and for those organizations
involved in exports,
export - import committees.
AIso, in the organizations that have
development and investment plans,
committees for development
and investment issues.
The workers' committees
and councils,
in full agreement
with local party structures,
will organize
if necessary,
other committees.
That's what we should have
with these so-called combines.
They should cut
The material would be cleaner
in contact with the soil...
...we should have two versions,
and both should have bales
at the back.
That helps us;
comrade Secretary General,
SO we Can SOW
while we harvest the maize.
Sure.
So we could use this sort
of ideal machine.
lt can be done, we just need
some time to think it through.
We need to consider it
in the spirit of economy.
To my mind, it's not impossible.
Sure!
For the election of the President
of our Republic,
the first President
of the Socialist Republic
of Romania,
l suggest to the Grand
National Assembly,
on behalf of the Central Committee
of the Romanian Communist Party
and the National Council
of the Socialist Unity Front,
the candidacy of the man
who gave so much
to his country and people,
to human civilization and peace,
the Secretary General of our party,
comrade Nicolae Ceausescu.
At this solemn moment
of your investiture
to the high office
of President
of the Socialist Republic of Romania,
and Supreme Commander
of the Armed Forces,
on behalf
of the Grand National Assembly
please receive the symbols
of the dignity and prestige
of state power,
of the sovreign authority
of the Romanian people,
of its will to develop
free and independent
on the path
of socialism and communism.
Comrade President, I invite you
to take the oath,
according to the Constitution.
The people of the United States
are honored by having as our guest
a great leader of a great country.
lt is a great benefit
to me as president
to have a chance to consult
with a national
and international leader
like our guest today.
His influence as Romanian leader
throughout the international world
is exceptional.
From the Carpathians to the sea

Shining like a star

THE HISTORY
OF THE ROMANIANS
The Senate of the University
of Bucharest,
in its session of 24 January 1973,
is awarding
comrade Nicolae Ceausescu,
Secretary General
of the Romanian Communist Party,
President of the State Council
of the Socialist Republic of Romania,
the title of Doctor Honoris Causa
of the University of Bucharest.
The High Awards Committee
of the Socialist Republic of Romania
hereby underwrites the decision
of the University of Bucharest.
Now that l am turning 55,
with 40 years
of revolutionary activity behind me,
l can say, without false modesty,
that l have always done my duty
as a faithful soldier of the Party,
that l have relentlessly served
the cause of socialism,
the vital interests
of our people.
Ceausescu, Happy Birthday!
Ceausescu, Happy Birthday!
l...
l can only, right now,
think of my parents..,
l am a faithful son of my people,
l know its pain and its wants.
The people's wish is my own:
to be stronger, happier,
free, master of its destiny,
stand prouder,
stand higher in communism.
l am a peasant's son,
l am a worker;
so I organically belong
to the two basic classes
of our socialist society.
l have become an intellectual
knowing one cannot be
a real communist,
one cannot properly fulfill
high responsibilities
without learning,
without studying
without knowing
the most valuable output
of humanity in the field
of science and culture
of knowledge, and above all,
without taking on the revolutionary
thinking of the proletariate,
the dialectic and
historical materialism,
Marxism-Leninism.
Do you remember
Kogalniceanu's words
to Cuza:
Do everything to be just
and to serve the people.
This motto needs to guide
all communists,
all those who, one way or another,
are called to weigh in
for our country.
Ceausescu, Happy Birthday!
lt is the Bucharest students'
delegation.
Romania's representative
His Excellency, Mr. Nicolae Ceausescu,
President of the Socialist
Republic of Romania,
has the floor.
Mr. President,
High representatives of countries
participating in this conference,
ladies and gentlemen.
lt is for the first time
that the states
of the European continent
come together for such a reunion
in order to agree
upon their future,
upon their cooperation, security,
and peace in Europe.
l would like to make reference
to some
of the illustrious speakers
before me,
noting that there are, indeed,
democracies and democracies,
How can we speak of equality,
of freedom and democracy,
in the rich states
same as in countries with a GDP
less than S1 OO per capita?
Accomplishing equality
means achieving
the necessary material conditions.
How can we speak in general
of an absolutization
of the so-called democratic norms
ignoring
that there are
different forms of democracy
and I dare say
that the democracy
we are building in Romania
is much more superior
to the one that some
of the previous speakers
were talking about.
So we need
to correctly inform peoples.
We need to start from the fact
that we must end
various misinformation activities
that are damaging cooperation
and security.
l am referring, among others,
to the activity
of certain radio stations
broadcasting from countries
participating in this conference
and in no way serving
the noble goals we are putting down
in the documents
to be signed today.
One might say
that by signing these documents
we are successfully ending
the first
General European Conference.
Also, we need to add that this is
merely the first stage,
important though it is,
of the fight for security and peace.
We must not create the illusion
that we can sit back safely.
The next session starts at 3 PM.
ALEXANDRA CEAUSESCU
1889 - 1977
Sing, violins, sing
Lovingly sing to him
Wish him health
Wish him luck in everything
Let the skylarks sing along

Comrades...
Comrade President,
l would like to take the floor.
l signed up for it
- the very first day!
- Comrade Parvulescu
l don't have you on my list,
Give them to the Secretariate.
The Congress has approved
- Give it to the Secretariate.
- The Congress has approved...
l ask the Congress to allow me
to make a statement.
Right, give the floor to comrade.
Comrade Constantin Parvulescu
has the floor.
Why didn't you...
Comrades,
l was astonished
by how this Congress was prepared,
and by the Congress itself.
Comrade Ceausescu took the liberty
to set it up before the Congress,
and during the Congress
and the Conferences,
for himself to be reelected
Secretary General of the party.
That is unprecedented, comrades,
in the history of our Party
and in the history
of communist parties.
Why is Ceausescu pulling the strings
to get elected as member
of the Central Committee,
so that he'd be reelected
from among the members
of the Central Committee? Why?
Because Ceausescu is avoiding
Party control,
- He's trying to...
- That's not correct, what you said!
Why is it not correct?
- Comrade...
- Ceausescu reelected!
Ceausescu reelected
in the 12th Congress!
That's how the Congress
was set up, comrades.
There are agitators here,
from front to back.
That's not true!
Comrades,
l do not vote
to elect Ceausescu
to the board of the party!
Ceausescu reelected
in the 12th Congress!
Can l continue, comrade president?
He shouldn't have been
given the floor. He's an agitator!
Give the floor to...
Comrade Popescu-Puturi
has the floor.
Esteemed and beloved
comrade Ceausescu;
esteemed and cherished colleagues,
friends and guests.
Comrade Parvulescu Constantin,
speaking of the past
of our movement,
it was a positive thing
that the basic documents
were made public
for congresses still in preparation.
Our Party's board has always done
this in good faith
and this time, how shall l put it
it has extended the time given
to discussing the basic documents,
getting millions and millions
of people involved
in voicing their opinion.
Whoever wanted
to support the proposals
for our Secretary GeneraI
to be reelected
to lead the Party
had months at their disposal
to give their point of view.
Ceausescu reelected
in the 12th congress!
They had millions of notebooks,
millions of pencils,
hundreds of thousands
of fountain pens.
Who stopped them, in the evening,
in the light...
from writing down their thoughts
on the Secretary General
ifthey had a different point
of view?
But in what our Party
has gathered so far,
in mass proportions,
what people wrote in the privacy
of their homes,
everything is superlative
concerning the extraordinary capacity
and activity
of our Secretary General,
Comrade Nicolae Ceausescu.
Ceausescu reelected
in the 12th Congress!
That is why,
beloved comrade Ceausescu,
you must ignore this outburst,
consider it a minor incident
because we must above all consider
the feelings of the entire party
and the entire people.
Thank you,
and our very best wishes to you.
Ceausescu reelected
in the 1 2th Congress!
Ceausescu and the people!

lt is not enough
to write
only about abstract things,
though they, too, are necessary.
Naturally,
it's beautiful to hear
a good love poem
but that is not enough.
We need social poetry as well,
we need revolutionary poetry.
l think women, too,
would like to hear such poetry,
and our writers and poets
must understand these things.
l wish to warmly thank
the Executive Political Committee
of the Party's Central Committee
for the letter and wishes
they sent on my birthday.
My birthday
coincides with the anniversary
of over four decades of activity
within the revolutionary movement
of the Romanian Communist Party.
l could not fail to remember
at such a time
that l have had
the great happiness
that ever since the underground days
of working directly
with my life partner
who has been to me
an example of whole-hearted
commitment and dedication
to our revolutionary work,
an example of unwavering faith
in the victory
of the workers' just cause,
the cause of our Party.
We have started
the new five-year period
with results
which are generally,
positive,
although we must say
if we had worked better
if we had acted
with greater responsibility;
if we had organized
and controlled
the activity,
we could have had
better results
in our social
and economic development.
lt is therefore necessary
that this year
we do everything
so that the provisions
of our plan
be fully achieved.
And wherever we have
everything in place
for selling our production,
l'm referring to exports
in particular,
we should do everything
to produce even more.
lt is necessary
that we do everything
so that this year's
agriculture programs;
the self-sufficient
production program
be fully accomplished.
With the animal stock
that we have
we can accomplish,
by accomplishing carving surplus,
a surplus of meat
above what we predicted.
We must do everything
for the development of science,
We have many innovators,
many highly-specialized workers,
many peasants
able to solve many issues
of industrial and agricultural
practice and technology.
ln effect, the entire people
must actively participate
democratically
in the management
of all types of work.
lt is necessary, comrades,
to pay greater attention
to providing ideological
and political education
and raising revolutionary awareness
and stirring the socialist conscience
of the masses, of the people.
The complex issues raised by the
socialist development of our country
by international developments
raise many issues and questions.
ln order to understand them,
people must have
notions of politics,
notions of advanced
general knowledge
they must clearly understand events,
know the direction
of social development,
understand that the zig-zagging
of this impetuous development
is inevitable in this fiery fight
between the forces of socialism
and the forces of capitalism
and imperialism,
and also inevitable
are certain backlashes
and advances and even defeats.
But all these
merely bring forth
better measures
for our advancement
and the future belongs
to socialism, communism,
to a world without exploiters,
without imperialists and capitalists.

How l love you
For l was raised on this land

And now; l tell everyone
That you are the prettiest flower
That was beautiful.
Hello!
- Welcome!
- l'm glad,..
The temperature here's the same
as in Berlin.
Good trip.
And the weather in Warsaw
is the same as in Bucharest.
Do you speak Russian?
Dinica or Vulpasin. They both do.
There's no one left to talk to, now,
We had an interpreter,
but then we got Shevarnadze's car
out of the motorcade.
Now he's saying he is coming here.
- Everything ok?
- Not really...
lt's hot.
Just warm. It's nice.
lt's hot. Very hot.

l would like to emphasize
the importance
of the meeting
of the Political Advisory Committee
of the Socialist States
of the Warsaw Treaty
which took place
last week in Bucharest,
ln this meeting, we also discussed
issues of world economics
and especially the situation
of developing countries.
That's because
at present
the situation of developing countries
is especially dire.
Over 4 billion people
live in poverty,
and during this decade
their situation continued to worsen,
while
the rich countries,
and within them a small group
of rich people;
have annually accumulated dozens
and dozens of billions of dollars
from the developing countries.
This situation
cannot continue any further,
This is the world
that certain gentlemen
urge us to revert to.
A world of inequality,
robbery, exploitation.
We have known it
for hundreds of years
and another hundred
under this capitalism.
That is why we have stated that,
for us,
such a path
is no longer an option.
Our people
sometimes say that this will happen
when pigs may fly.
Do not rush to applaud.
Modern genetics made huge progress,
and the day might come
when pigs do fly.
And yet, not even then,
in such circumstances,
will we accept to revert back.
ln Romania, capitalism
has lived its last day,
The people are the true masters
and will remain master
of their destiny, and
of the riches of their country.
That's right!
Ceausescu heroism,
Romania communism.
These circles and these people
should direct their attention
to what concerns two directions:
how to eliminate the exploitation
of developing countries,
settling the external debt
of one billion two hundred...
billion dollars
of these countries,
And not through symbols,
Symbolism may be good
for the arts,
but it's worthless in economics
and politics.
LONG LIVE THE 45TH ANNIVERSARY
OF ROMANIA'S LIBERATlON

Smaller scale; comrade.

Yeah, yeah, it's big.
It's really big.
lt's going to be something

As a worthy founder
of the House of the Republic,
from the bottom of our hearts
we wish you
a long and happy life,
good health,
and strength
so you may lead us ahead
towards consolidating
socialism and communism
in our beloved homeland,
the Socialist Republic of Romania.
Happy birthday,
Comrade Secretary General,
lt's higher,
and that one's even higher.
Enough.
Yes, of course.
Dear comrades and friends,
citizens of the Socialist
Republic of Romania.
Tonight I'm addressing
the entire people
of our socialist homeland
concerning the serious events
that took place
in the past couple of days
in Timisoara.
On December 16 and 17,
a few groups of hooligans
have organized a series
of rallies and incidents
attacking state institutions,
destroying and robbing
a series of buildings,
shops,
public buildings,
and on December 17,
they intensified their activity
against state and party institutions,
including some military units.
From the way these events unfolded
and from the statements
of participants
in these events,
these groups
meant to cause unrest
and bring down the institutions
and the common assets of the city,
and to signal the start
of such events in others cities.
l am addressing the citizens
of Timisoara
with an appeal
to their sense of responsibility
so they do everything for the calm
and order of their cities,
contributing to the calm
and order throughout the country.
l wish to state
with all responsibility
that our armed units
entrusted with defending
our country's independence
and sovereignty
and the revolutionary conquests,
have shown much,
very much patience.
''l refuse''.
The defendant is refusing
to answer...
l will answer before
the Grand National Assembly!
Shut off that broken record.
We've heard it.
We're familiar with the stubbornness
that you've shown so far.
''l refuse to answer the question
who is the author
of the genocide in Timisoara.''
For history,
the Grand National Assembly
will find out the truth...
and not those
who have organized...
- The coup...
-...the coup...
Organized the coup?
The people did...
...serving foreign powers.
- You have usurped the power.
- Let him only answer the questions,
You only answer my questions.
l won't answer!
ln Bucharest...
Who ordered soldiers
to fire upon the crowd?
To shoot the young?
What young?
You don't know?
You don't know
the situation in Bucharest,
that the crowd was fired at
in the Palace Square?
ls this news to you?
Even now,
fanatics are still shooting
innocent people,
the elderly, the children
shooting into buildings...
Who are these fanatics?
Did the people train them,
or did you?
Who paid them?
l'm not answering
any question, it's...
l'm not answering,
and please don't take this
as an answer.
No one was shot at
in the Palace Square.
- There's nothing to discuss.
- ...on the contrary,
there were firm orders
not to shoot.
Who gave them?
Did you issue the order?
l did, yes! Me!
Even on TV,
even in the televised
conference that's on record.
- Take it down..,
- No!
Don't consider this...
l only answer
to the Grand National Assembly.
What you're saying
is all lies,
mystifications, provocations!
What Romanians like
ls the mountains and the creeks
Where they reign free and peacefully
Ruling over nature
Where among the ancient cliffs
The springs gush and flow
ln the forests down below
Where among the ancient cliffs
The springs gush and flow
ln the forests down below
Where the deer leap
Seeking shelter from the hunter
ln the shadow of the fir tree
Where every traveler rests
Where the sheep bleet
Where the piper plays his tune
With a mournful melody
Where the sheep bleet
Where the piper plays his tune
With a mournful melody
That's why Romanians like
The mountains and creeks high above.
That's why Romanians like
