March 7, 200521 yr but for how long? http://www.guardian.co.uk/international/st...1432366,00.html Moldova's governing Communist party, the last in Europe, won a parliamentary majority in national elections on the weekend but fell short of taking enough seats to re-elect President Vladimir Voronin, according to final results released today. But both centrist parties said they would seek to block President Voronin's re-election and to force new elections. The Communists have led the country since 2001 through four years of economic growth, but Moldova remains the poorest country in Europe. Formerly pro-Russian, the Communists have made a complete turnaround and now support closer ties with the EU, a policy favoured by 65% of Moldovans.
