Headquarters of three pro-Western parties fall victim to flag thieves, Communist sympathizer suspected in one case

The headquarters of three pro-Western parties in Moldova - the Liberal Party (LP), the Moldova Noastra [Our Moldova] Alliance (MNA), and the Actiunea Europeana [European Action] Movement (AEM) - fell victim to flag thieves this weekend.

The LP and the MNA are members of the ruling Alliance for European Integration.

In all three cases, someone tore up or stole the flags displayed by the parties at the entrance.

It is unclear if the three cases are connected, but police have announced that they have a suspect in the case of the MNA headquarters. A young man, who is a member of the Communist youth organization, allegerly tore the flag, to keep it as a souvenir, as he told police.

There were some reports that a flag was stolen from the Liberal Democratic Party, but it is unclear if that happened or not.
