Romania’s
\npresident, Klaus Iohannis, said in a New Year’s message, that 2021 was a year
\nof great hardship, ups and downs, hope and despair. 2021 was a painful year
\nfor our country, too many Romanians losing the fight against the coronavirus in
\nsuccessive waves of the pandemic. As the year ends, I call on you to direct our
\nheartfelt thoughts to the victims’ bereaved families. Let me also express my
\nfull gratitude towards the medical doctors and assistants, paramedics, ambulance
\nworkers, pharmacists, volunteers and all essential workers who have been on the
\nfront line of the fight against the pandemic. They are doing the best they can,
\noblivious to the risks and working to the point of exhaustion, to save lives
\nand alleviate the suffering of those who are sick, president Iohannis said. <\/p>\n

The head of
\nstate also thanked Romanians for the sacrifices they made in 2021, as well as
\nfor their sense of responsibility and civic duty. Everything we have learned
\nabout ourselves during this pandemic, the president argues, should inspire us
\nand help us overcome future challenges much easier. As a nation, we should
\nemerge stronger and closer together from this terrible health crisis. Let us
\nusher in 2022 with hope, an open heart and the confidence that all our efforts will
\nhelp us all rejoice and go back to our normal lives. Happy New Year, wherever you
\nare! May the New Year bring you happiness, good health and prosperity, the
\npresident told Romanians in his New Year’s address. (VP)<\/p>\n
