CE Report quoting Agerpres

''On 16 December 1989, in Timisoara, the decisive protest against communism in Romania took place. Without Timisoara, it would not have been possible to overthrow a system that killed people, not only in Romania, but in our entire region," Nicolae Ciuca says in a Facebook post.

According to him, the repression in Timisoara exposed to the world the ferocity of a regime gripped by fear of losing power.
