Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies Sorin Grindeanu, leader of the Social Democratic Party (PSD), on Saturday marked the United States' Independence Day with a message saying the country remains a benchmark for democracy 250 years after its founding.

'The United States remains a benchmark for democracy! 250 years after its founding, the US demonstrates that the right vision can propel a nation into the top tier of global powers, regardless of historical circumstances. Happy Independence Day, America,' Grindeanu wrote on Facebook.

The US Declaration of Independence was adopted on 4 July 1776. Since 1941, during the presidency of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, 4 July has been observed as the national day of the United States. AGERPRES (RO - writing by: Catalin Alexandru; EN - writing by: Adina Panaitescu)
