Ciolacu’s government will declare national mourning day

The Romanian Government will declare the national mourning day in Romania after the death of Pope Francis, according to the sources quoted by Freedom.

The government led by Marcel Ciolacu would follow in the Government meeting on Thursday to decree for Saturday, April 26, a national mourning, in the context of Pope Francis.

In 2005, the government led by Călin Popescu-Tariceanu decided that the day of April 8, 2005 would be a mourning day in Romania « in memory of his sanctity, Pope John Paul II ».

The institutions are obliged to fly the flag of Romania, according to the legislation in force.

The national radio and television stations, as well as the cultural institutions, must adapt their programs, and all the cultural, artistic and sports manifestations for mourning days are postponed, according to the legislation in our country.

Victor Ponta also asked for national mourning

« I express the hope that the Government of Romania will declare the day of national mourning in memory of its sanctity Pope Francis – as, legitimately, proceeded on April 8, 2005. It is a gesture of respect for a recognized and appreciated world personality not only by Catholic believers. » Victor Ponta wrote on Facebook.
