Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, the ruling Alliance for European Integration's (AEI) presidential candidate, will be leaving for Moscow tomorrow at the official invitation of the governing United Russia party. Democratic Party head Stela Jantuan told Unimedia that Mr. Lupu would also be meeting with "decision-makers."
In a related news story, Stirea Zilei writes that Communist head and former Presidenti Vladimir Voronin went to Russia today. Sources from the Party of Communists have said that Mr. Voronin may meet with Russian President Dmitri Medvedev.
It is unclear if the two political rivals will cross paths in Moscow. This is a sign, however, that Russia is taking a proactive role in getting involved in the political crisis in Moldova.
The ruling Alliance for European Integration is eight seats short of the 61 votes it needs to elect a head of state. Those votes can only come from the Party of Communists. Although some Communist members have said that they would be willing to vote for a President, Vladimir Voronin has been adamantly against it thus far.
