Maia Sandu s-a întâlnit cu două femei care au avut curajul să scrie în română pe zidurile Chișinăului în 1970, „sfidând regimul sovietic”

Moldovan President Maia Sandu met with Lilia Neagu and Asea Andruh-Scorpan, who defied the Soviet regime in 1970 by writing slogans in Romanian. Sandu emphasized the importance of preserving such stories for future generations. The women's actions occurred during a time when Romanian was officially referred to as 'Moldovan' and the Latin alphabet was banned. The movement for language rights gained momentum in the late 1980s, culminating in the adoption of new language legislation on August 31, 1989, which is now celebrated as Romanian Language Day in Moldova and Romania.
