Acting President Vladimir Voronin and former Communist cabinet present activity report, say Moldova is much better off than eight years ago

Acting President and Party of Communists head Vladimir Voronin spoke during the cabinet's last meeting today. Among other things, the head of state argued that before the Communists came to power "mortality among children less than one year old was worse than in Africa." He added that "before we came to Government, people used to till the soil with bulls. [...] Even human beings were being harnessed to carts."

Economy Minister Igor Dodon echoed his party colleague, and argued that agriculture, industry, foreign trade, imports, and other branches of the economy are much better off than they were eight years ago, when the PC won parliamentary elections and came to power.
