Police in Moldova’s separatist region of Transdniester on March 12 said they have arrested five leaders of the opposition Communist Party, charging them with disturbing the peace after they tryed to organize an unauthorized protest. Reports by AP and the Basa news agency indicate that Communist Party leader Oleg Horjan, a former presidential candidate, and three other senior party figures were arrested on March 11 while urging passersby to attend a demonstration on March 13 outside the offices of the breakaway region’s leader, Igor Smirnov. AP quoted Svetlana Antonova, a senior intelligence officer in the breakaway region, as saying that the government offered the Communists an alternative site for a rally on March 13. Basa reported on March 12 that the media in Transdniester accused Moldova of seeking to destabilize the situation in the region. A political analyst quoted by Basa, Andrei Safonov, said the Communists planned to question increases in the cost of utilities, revisions to the results of some privatizations, and delays in payments of pensions and salaries. According to official figures, the Communists were trounced in the presidential election in December, with Nadezhda Bondarenko, one of the leaders arrested on March 11, polling just 8 percent of the vote. Smirnov was reelected with 82 percent, theoretically extending his rule from 1990 to 2011. March 2 marked the 15th anniversary of the outbreak of war between separatists in Transdniester and Moldova. \/\/ Copyright (c) 2005. RFE\/RL, Inc.
