Moldovan millionaire to form left-wing party, some see connection with recent departure of four Communists from the faction

Nicolae Ciornii, a Moldovan millionaire and soon to be former deputy President of Russian oil giant Lukoil, held a press conference today to announce that he intends to form a new left-wing party.

Mr. Ciornii did not provide many details and said more information about the project will be available in January.

Some analysts have seen a connection between Mr. Ciornii's announcement and the recent departure of four Communist M.P.s from the Communist faction in Parliament. The four announced they were planning on starting a new party, as well.

Communist head and former President Vladimir Voronin (2001-2009) reacted to this announcement by recommending to Mr. Ciornii to build a stadium instead of getting involved in politics. Mr. Ciornii owns the Zimbru soccer club in Chisinau.
