The Communists Party (PCRM) considers the September 5 referendum is the only method for the government coalition to avoid early legislative elections and remain in power. In a statement, the PCRM's Central Committee says the referendum will be a continuation of the coup staged on April 7, Info-Prim Neo reports. “The referendum initiated by the Alliance for European Integration is not aimed at determining the method of electing the head of state. It will not represent the consultation of the population, but a continuation of the coup mounted on April 7. It will be an attempt to deprive the Moldovan people of the right to improvement, the right to elect another, truly popular government,” the statement reads. The PCRM says the referendum will mean renunciation of independence and recognition of the fact that Moldova is a component part of Romania. “The referendum will enable the Alliance and the usurpers from inside it to remain in power. It will allow avoiding early elections,” the statement says. The Communist Opposition reiterates that it will boycott the referendum and urges the people not to take part in it and say “No” to the plebiscite.
