Farmer stages protest against pressures from Communists, collects funds to "send Voronin into retirement"

Stanislav Ivanita, a farmer who spilled milk in front of the Government building last summer to protest against the policies of the Party of Communists, who was in power at the time, organized another demonstration today.

Carrying a few banners urging Communist head and former President Vladimir Voronin to retire, Mr. Ivanita started a collection of money to help Mr. Voronin withdraw from public life.

Mr. Ivanita was then the first person to put one leu in a transparent collection box, urging others to do the same.

The farmer said that if Mr. Voronin did not want the money, he would donate it for a monument to the victims of communism, especially for Valeriu Boboc, the young man who was beaten to death by security forces on the night of April 7.

"We should collect money until Christmas and build a monument for Valeriu Boboc, to make sure that he is the last victim of communism," a teary-eyed Mr. Ivanita added.
