Democratic Party honorary head Dumitru Diacov held a press conference today during which he revealed that he met with Party of Communists head Vladimir Voronin four times in the last few weeks.
Mr. Diacov said that during these meetings he tried to convince Mr. Voronin to vote for Democratic Party head Marian Lupu, the Alliance's presidential candidate.
Mr. Diacov also noted that the Communist head asked the Democrats to form a coalition with the Communists and another party, whose name Mr. Diacov refused to reveal. The Democratic Party refused this offer, Dumitru Diacov stressed.
The Democrat emphasized that about 16-17 Communists in the 48-person Communist faction in the legislature want to vote for Mr. Lupu, but are not allowed to do so because of party discipline.
The ruling Alliance for European Integration is eight votes short of the 61 it needs to elect a head of state. Those votes can only come from the Communists. Party of Communists officials have been generally reluctant to vote for a President, although some of its M.P.s, like Vladimir Turcan, have begun to be more vocal about the need to vote for Mr. Lupu.
