Molodva: Two important members of the Communist Party quit
Iacob Timciuc, one of the oldest members of the Party of Communists (PC) announced today that he is leaving the party.
Mr. Timciuc accused the PC of turning into an "anti-national" party because a small group has taken over and promotes certain people in the ranks.
During the same day, Communist M.P. Svetlana Popa announced she is quitting the party's executive political office and accused leading Communist Mark Tkaciuk of turning the party into a business. Mr. Tkaciuk used to be former President Vladimir Voronin's advisor, and is a close ally of Mr. Voronin's.
The PC initially had 48 M.P.s in Parliament. Five have left, four of which went on to take over the Moldova Unita (United Moldova) Party, a left-wing group.
