[UPDATE] / The PCRM will back its leader Vladimir Voronin for the position of president of the parliament. Vladimir Turcan will be supported as a deputy speaker, while the second seat of a deputy speaker will be offered to a candidate from the opposition. Maria Postoico will lead the PCRM faction in the Legislature. The decisions were made in the plenary sitting of the Communists Party, the media learnt from the Communist MP Svetlana Popa. She said they had not discussed about PCRM's nomination for the president of the country. The Communists' nominees for the positions of speaker and deputy speakers of the Parliament will be decided today, May 7, at the plenary sitting of the Central Committee, Info-Prim Neo reports. “It's a decision to be made only by this organ,” commented Communist parliamentarian Vadim Misin, after a sitting at the PCRM's quarters, which preceded the plenary session to which the media have not been allowed. PCRM leader and Moldova's outgoing president attended the sitting, as well as the parliamentarians Marian Lupu, Zinaida Greceanai, Igor Dodon, Mark Tkaciuk, Vladimir Turcan, Grigore Petrenco and others were seen at the PCRM's headquarters. After the sitting, which ended at about 11.30, the PCRM parliamentarians headed for the Palace of the Republic, where the plenary is to take place. The PCRM has 60 seats in the parliament, short of just one to be able to elect the president of the country. In case the president is not elected, the parliament will be dissolved and early elections will be called. The three opposition parties from the parliament (PL, PLDM and AMN) hold 41 seats together and said they would not attend the election of a Communist president. Serafim Urecheanu, Our Moldova Alliance' (AMN)s leader, had told a news conference the reason why the parliament's managing bodies were not elected in the first sitting of the parliament was that “there are big disagreements among the Communists in terms of sharing the state management positions and very big scandals caused by the fact they don't have 52 votes to elect Voronin as president of the parliament.”
