Party of Communists calls for "organized and democratic resistance" to the "reactionary" Alliance

The Party of Communists (PC) called today for "organized and democratic resistance" to "the new regime" today. he PC is referring to the new ruling Alliance for European Integration, which holds a thin majority in Parliament (53 seats out of 101) and which has managed to appoint a Speaker and a Prime Minister.

Speaker Mihai Ghimpu is also interim President after former President and PC head Vladimir Voronin resigned.

The PC said that "the liberal-democratic reactionary forces, represented by the Liberal Democrats, the Liberals, the Democrats, and Moldova Noastra have come to power and have begun to attack society and to trample the fundamental rights of the people."

The former ruling party is referring to the four parties' recent decision in the Chisinau city hall to increase tariffs for public transportation and water consumption, as a result of which "the most vulnerable categories in society - the youth and retirees - are in a desperate situation, without any hopes for understanding and protection from the new Government."

Mayor Dorin Chirtoaca, deputy head of the Liberal Party, said, however, that the tariffs have been adjusted to real expenses. “We have the lowest prices in Chisinau today - the cost of water and transportation in raions is higher," Mr. Chirtoaca stressed. The "raion" is the primary sub-national administrative unit in Moldova, the local version of an American "state" or a German "land."
