Communist MPs will remain without daily allowances and motor pool cars

They arrived late because they had attended a meeting of the Cabinet Four MPs of the Alliance are absent.
The Communist faction announced earlier that it will not attend the sittings as the legislative body must be dissolved. Speaker Mihai Ghimpu asked the technical personnel of the Palace of the Republic, where the sittings take place, to switch off the wall lamps on the side of the hall where the Communist MPs usually sit.
