Moldovan communists ready to go into opposition?

The Moldovan Communist Party stands ready for a dialog with its opponents in parliament. But it may well go into the opposition, too, says the press release issued upon completion of a meeting of MCP activists, who gathered in Chisinau last weekend to draw up parliamentary election results.

The assembly discussed the MCP's position on forming a governing coalition in the new Parliament, and subsequently wrote in the press release that the Communist Party "is ready for a dialog with the opponents to consider proposals aimed at the consolidation of stability, national sovereignty and independence of Moldova".

MCP Chairman, acting President of Moldova Vladimir Voronin stated, "Otherwise, the MCP may go into the opposition".

"We may go into a responsible opposition in case the radical extremist forces form a liberal coalition, because it is impossible to otherwise oppose to scenarios of ruining the national economy, social sphere and the very statehood of Moldova's", stressed Vladimir Voronin.

He reminded, "The dialog, offered by the MCP both after the April 5 elections and during the early parliamentary election campaign, was rejected by our opponents".

Local experts are pointing out that with such a statement the MCP meant its readiness to form a coalition with 3-of-4 opposition parties, but not with the Liberal Party, whom the Communists regard as an extremist one. The Communists have many a time stated, "The Liberals stand for annihilation of the statehood of Moldova's, and for Moldova's accession to Romania". However, the chief opponents to the MCP - Deputy Chairman of the LP and Chisinau Mayor Dorin Chirtoaca keeps on maintaining this is a lie the Communists disseminate to discredit their political opponents.
