Communists sending mixed signals about participation in presidential election

The Party of Communists has been sending mixed signals about the election of the President on December 7. The ruling Alliance for European Integration has a slim majority of 53 seats in the legislature, and needs eight Communist votes to elect its candidate, Marian Lupu. If the presidential election fails again, Parliament may be dismissed and early legislative elections will be called in August 2010 at the earliest.

Communist M.P. Vladimir Turcan told Stirea Zilei that he could vote for Mr. Lupu because he is against early elections. Mr. Turcan was supported by Communist M.P. Victor Stepaniuc.

On the other hand, Communist M.P.s Vadim Misin and Igor Dodon said that there is no split within the party and that either all 48 M.P.s will vote for the President or none will.
