Americans and Romanians helped ruling Alliance win: Communist head Vladimir Voronin

Vladimir Voronin, Party of Communists head and former Moldovan President (2001-2009) told Russian radio station Ekho Moskvi that the West helped the ruling Alliance for European Integration win the July 29 legislative elections.

Mr. Voronin said that “those who paid a similar sum to break up the former Soviet Union weren't too sad about finding a few million dollars to buy votes to defeat us. But you probably know that we weren't defeated. We won again because our party alone received 48 percent of the vote in Parliament."

He added that "they [the four parties that formed the Alliance] united against us, not out of their own will, but because of various commissars - from Washington, from Bucharest, from other European countries, from the European Union. There were a bunch of them gathering up and strengthening this so-called Alliance for European Integration."

Western diplomatic representatives have not yet commented on Mr. Voronin accusations.
