Small pro-Western party asks for ban on Communist symbols

The National Liberal Party (NLP), a small pro-Western party, recently asked Moldovan authorities to ban Communist symbols and condemn the crimes of Communism in the country.

The NLP says that if the ruling Alliance does not do so, "the economic situation and the continuing involvement of imperial Russian circles in our domestic affairs" can bring the "anti-national and anti-European Communists" back to power.

Earlier this year, an NGO headed by Democratic Party deputy head Oleg Serebrian made a similar request.

The NLP is one of the few Moldovan parties headed by a woman - former M.P. Vitalia Pavlicenco. It failed to cross the electoral threshold during the April 5 legislative elections and withdrew from the July 29 race in favor of the four parties currently making up the Alliance for European Integration.
