Alliance M.P.: Communist M.P. and I had a fist-fight

ProTV recently posted an interview with Democratic Party M.P. Andrei Popov, who said that he was physically attacked by Communist M.P. Iurie Muntean after a verbal fight in Parliament.

Mr. Popov said he called Mr. Muntean a "boor," after which the Communist M.P. asked him to step into a private office. As soon as the two arrived in the private office, Mr. Popov said that Mr. Muntean started punching him, and that he defended himself as a result.

The Alliance M.P. noted that no blows to the face were thrown. Mr. Muntean denies all accusations.

The two M.P.s have exchanged tough words in the past. During a debate before the legislative election on July 29, Mr. Popov and Mr. Muntean got very heated on television.

Mr. Muntean has also accused Mr. Popov of asking for certain favors when Mr. Muntean worked in the Economy Ministry, but the Democrat says Mr. Muntean is lying.
