The Chisinau opposition now has the chance to offer the Moldovan president the possibility of leaving politics instead of penal immunity, writes the Romanian newspaper “Evenimentul Zilei”, quoted by Info-Prim Neo. Viorel Ursu, an analyst with the Open Society Institute from Brussels, considers that the future right-wing government from Chisinau could negotiate with the Communists Party (PCRM) the withdrawal of Vladimir Voronin from politics, offering him penal immunity instead. “We saw similar situations in Russia when Boris Yeltsin retired, or in Georgia, when Eduard Shevardnadze did, those two authoritarian presidents obtained informal immunity as to the law,” the Romanian analyst maintains. The publication writes that the first official sign about the possible switching of the PCRM to opposition has already been given. The author refers to the communique of July 31 issued by the party, in which the PCRM president, Vladimir Voronin, maintains that “in case a Liberal, right-wing coalition is created with the participation of radical-extremist forces, the PCRM will switch to responsible opposition.” The publication says Mark Tkaciuk, the head of the PCRM's staff, is accused of the failure in the snap elections. “It's not a secret that Tkaciuk started the tough war with the opposition, accusing it of organizing the April riots, of fascism and pro-Romanian orientation, in order to disunite it. But, being an imbalanced personality, psychically and morally, this plan failed,” says Radion Konkin, an expert with the Russian-Transnistrian Center of information and analysis. The analyst reminds that in Moldova, there were rumors that Tkaciuk would be “the man of foreign secret services.” In the snap parliamentary elections of July 29, the PCRM did not gain sufficient votes to remain in government. The PLDM, PL, PDM and AMN announced about forming a democratic coalition to rule the country.
