PRESS RELEASE: Romania

The invasion of Czechoslovakia by the troops of the Warsaw Pact is a big mistake and a threat to peace in Europe, to the fate of socialism in the world and is a day of shame for the international movement. There is no justification and there is no reason that makes admissible, even for a moment, the idea of ​​an intervention in the internal affairs of a fraternal socialist state (…) No foreigner has the right to say what form it should take to get the construction of socialism.

-Nicolae Ceausescu
