Leading Communist M.P. may leave faction

Vladimir Turcan, a leading Communist M.P., told the press that he may leave the Communist faction after the party refused to vote for a head of state today.

Mr. Turcan noted that "early legislative elections will strengthen the ruling radical right-wing parties. Today's decision is a mistake, and it is not the first one this year. Until the end of the month, I will decide on whether I'm going to leave the faction or not. I do not think I will join another faction."

Another Communist M.P. - Vladimir Stepaniuc - also criticized the Communists' decision today.

It is unclear whether the Party of Communists will take any measures against these dissenters, and what Mr. Turcan and Mr. Stepaniuc will do in case they are sanctioned. There are rumors that they will either join the Democratic Party or that they will form another faction within Parliament.
