Communists hold meeting, decide not to vote for the Alliance's presidential candidate

The opposition Party of Communists held a meeting today, during which it decided to tell its faction in Parliament not to vote for the ruling Alliance for European Integration's presidential candidate. Communist officials refused to give any more details, and promised to provide more information tomorrow.

The ruling Alliance has a slim majority of 53 seats in the legislature, eight short of the 61 votes it needs to vote in Marian Lupu, its presidential candidate. Those eight votes can only come from the Party of Communists.
