Communist M.P. Maria Postoico said during a press conference today that the Party of Communists could accept to vote for an Alliance presidential candidate (namely, Marian Lupu, the Alliance's candidate) if Parliament accepts to dismiss Speaker and interim President Mihai Ghimpu. She added that 35 out of the 48 Communist M.P.s submitted an initiative about Mr. Ghimpu's dismissal today.
Communist M.P. Vladimir Turcan stressed that his party is still hoping to for a center-left coalition with any parliamentary party that is interested in cooperating.
Democratic Party head and Alliance presidential candidate Marian Lupu said, however, that he sees no reason why Mr. Ghimpu should be dismissed, and noted that he is not interested in a coalition with the Communists.
The ruling Alliance for European Integration holds 53 seats in the new legislative, eight short of the 61 needed to elect a President. Those votes can only come from the Party of Communists. Previously, Communist head and former President Vladimir Voronin (2001-2009) said he would not vote for a "traitor" and a "leech," a reference to Marian Lupu, who left the Party of Communists in 2009.
