Every year, on September 15, the International Day of Democracy is marked - an occasion to reflect on the values that underpin a democratic society, on fundamental rights and freedoms, as well as on the responsibility of each citizen to engage in the life of the community and the country.
On this occasion, today, the Chairperson of the Electoral Council of the Basarabeasca Electoral District No. 5, Violeta Topală, held an information and awareness-raising activity at the "Marcu Tarlev" Gymnasium in the village of Bașcalia, attended by students from the 8th and 9th grades.
The meeting was a good opportunity for an open dialogue with young people about democracy, elections, and civic participation, as well as about the role each citizen can play in making decisions that influence their community and society.
Particular emphasis was placed on the importance of voting as a means by which citizens exercise one of their fundamental rights and contribute to the election of representatives who will make decisions for the community and the country.
The participation of the students in the activity was active. They asked questions, expressed their opinions, and engaged in discussions, demonstrating interest in the topics addressed.
Democracy means not only the right to choose but also the responsibility to participate, to know, to ask, and to contribute to the development of the community. Cultivating these values among the younger generation represents an investment in the future of a democratic society.
The Electoral Council of the Basarabeasca District expresses its sincere gratitude to Ms. Olesea Topada, the director of the "Marcu Tarlev" Gymnasium, for her openness and receptiveness in carrying out this activity.
