Communist youth organization pickets Interior Ministry headquarters as former ruling party warns of "right-wing dictatorship"

Members of the Party of Communists youth organization staged a protest in front of the Interior Ministry building yesterday, to express their outrage at alleged persecutions of its members by the state institution. They said that a Communist activist was detained by police officers recently.

Grigori Petrenco, a Communist M.P., said during the gathering that "the Interior Ministry is following the political orders of the current Government. They [Imedia: the ruling coalition] are afraid of the Party of Communists and have proven to everyone that they have nothing in common with democracy, liberty, or European integration."

The protesters asked for Interior Minister Victor Catan's resignation.

In a January 12 statement, the former ruling party warned about "the obvious signs of the formation of a right-wing dictatorship in Moldova."

The ruling Alliance has denied these allegations.

A Communist youth was recently accused of stealing the flag of the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance.
