One hundred swastika banners of the Fascist party headed by Prof. Alexander Cuza and Dr. Octavius Goga were consecrated today with services in the Greek Orthodox cathedral at Ramnicu Sarat.
Archdeacon Drugasco declared in a sermon that “a new way to the Rumanian soul has been opened by the Cuza-Goga National Christian Party.” He added that the people could trust the leaders of the party since they had been sworn on the altar to carry out its program.
A large demonstration was held after the services. Blue-shirted “shock-troopers” were reviewed by district leaders of the party. Anti-Semitic speeches were delivered, including one by the Greek Orthodox priest Moldovanu. Jewish shops were closed during the demonstration.
