:::"Suntem români şi punctum" it is the same as to say: “I am American”. It doesn’t meant that you going to throw away your roots your nationality. If you are German it mean that you will always be German, and in relation to this phrase it will sound something like: American German, or American Pole, or French American. You are not loosing your nationality. That is why many Moldavians from Romania still call themselves Moldavians. Eminescu is a Poet - It is more like reading a bible it have many meanings. Eminescu talked about union not about assimilation.
