7 April 2009: Communists were planning buying crowd-control vehicles
After the April 2009 unrest, when anti-Communist protests degenerated into vandalism of the Parliament and Presidential buildings, the Party of Communists was looking into buying crowd-control vehicles.
This revelation was made after the current Alliance for European Integration published a secret document in which then-President Vladimir Voronin asked cabinet officials to investigate the matter.
One of the vehicles would have cost nearly half a million dollars, and would have been able to shoot water, teargas, and paint on protesters.
