More than 35 years after the fall of Ceaușescu, the Romanian Revolution is no longer just a historical event—it is a benchmark. A measure of how far the country has come, and how far it still must go.

The revolution gave Romania the right to choose its path. The question now is whether future generations can carry that legacy forward—not just with memory, but with purpose.
