- “There is also a Christmas fair in Vienna. With the same restrictions as the ones we imposed in Craiova, with the difference that we will not have meals. This year we will not have, unfortunately, the carousel, the skating rink or the town of the children, but houses with sweets, juices, mulled wine, balloons, handicrafts. You will not find food prepared in the place, such as barbecue or small, because we wanted to prevent people from parking too much in front of the Christmas kiosks. In addition, the houses were located in the two large squares of the city, Mihai Viteazul and Frații Buzești, just to avoid congestion. Our request is to respect the lanes established for the walk, just to avoid interacting with more people. Don’t forget that the Romanescu Park will also be ready! for the holidays and worth a visit! On November 28 the Christmas Fair officially opens and we turn on the Christmas lighting! You all have the right to enjoy the f The biggest holiday in Christendom, Christmas, but we also ask that you respect the restrictions imposed! ”Lia Olguța Vasilescu wrote on Facebook.
“Impossible and aberrant”
President Klaus Iohannis told a press conference Tuesday that hosting a Christmas fair in the midst of a pandemic is “impossible and inappropriate.”
“In my opinion, organizing a Christmas fair in the middle of a pandemic, when we still have almost 10,000 new cases every day, seems impossible and inappropriate to me. (…) Yes, these Christmas fairs, this year, certainly cannot be organized ”, said the head of state at the Cotroceni Palace.
He specified that parties cannot be organized and probably no excursions for the holidays.
“The holidays will take place, like every year, because they are our holidays. But this year, they will be under the sign of the pandemic, which means that all the measures that are in place at that time will have to be observed and certainly “The big parties will not be able to take place this time, as probably not many trips will be organized. But Christmas is coming anyway, “added Iohannis.
