MOLDOVAN OPPOSITION BLOC SIGNALS READINESS TO COOPERATE WITH OTHER OPPOSITION PARTIES… <\/p>\n

Democratic Moldova Bloc (BMD) Chairman and Chisinau Mayor Serafim Urechean told a news conference on 15 February that all democratic forces in Moldova should adopt a common position to "defend democratic norms and electoral standards" ahead of the 6 March parliamentary elections, azi.md reported. Urechean accused the governing Party of Moldovan Communists (PCM) and the state authorities of conducting an "undemocratic and unequal" election campaign. Urechean also signaled that the BMD is ready to form a postelection coalition with "all democratic forces that will enter the parliament." UB <\/p>\n

…WHILE OPPOSITION PARTY SETS CONDITIONS FOR COOPERATION. Popular Party Christian Democratic (PPCD) Chairman Iurie Rosca said on 15 February that the BMD and the PPCD may join forces after the elections, azi.md reported. "It is clear that a maximum of three political formations will be able to win seats in parliament, and that the Communists will not be able to get 61 mandates [in the 101-seat parliament], so they will not be able to elect a president all by themselves," Rosca said. "I guess that in that case the parliamentary opposition should form an anti-Communist coalition. <\/p>\n

That is the only way Moldova can get rid of Communist rule and become a democratic state." If parliament fails to elect a president in three rounds of voting, Rosca argued, it must be dissolved and new elections called. Rosca added that his party prefers a president who is not a member of any party, adding that the PPCD will never support BMD leader Urechean if he runs for president. UB <\/p>\n

RULING MOLDOVAN COMMUNISTS SAY OPPOSITION PLANNING ‘REVOLUTION.’ The chairman of the governing PCM’s parliamentary caucus, Victor Stepaniuc, told journalists on 15 February that the election campaign is unfolding in a correct and transparent way, reporter.md reported. Stepaniuc said he expects the 6 March parliamentary elections to be the fairest in the last 14 years, citing the record number of election observers monitoring the vote. At the same time, Stepaniuc accused the opposition of planning a revolution similar to the Orange Revolution in neighboring Ukraine. "There is no revolutionary situation in this country, the opposition does not have the capacity to organize a revolution, it has only money," Stepaniuc said, adding that any attempt to bring down the government in a coup d’etat will fail (see "RFE\/RL Newsline," 10 and 14 February 2005). He also ruled out the possibility of the opposition garnering enough votes to force the scenario of early elections predicted by PPCD Chairman Rosca.
