Europe's last Communist regime increasingly shaky, Der Spiegel

Europe's last Communist regime is looking increasingly shaky. The population in Moldova, which holds parliamentary elections this Sunday, wants reunification with Romania -- and the EU membership it would bring, Mediafax quoted the German online journal Der Spiegel as saying, Info-Prim Neo reports. “German reunification is an increasingly common topic of conversation these days in Moldova. In the run-up to parliamentary elections on April 5, opposition parties calling for closer links, or even a union, with EU member state Romania are enjoying massive support,” Der Spiegel says in the article “EU Dreams in Communist Moldova”. "If Romanians and Moldovans decide in favor of a union, the EU will not oppose them," says one European diplomat confidently. After all, he said, the Germans had created a precedent with the reunification of East and West Germany in 1990, according to Der Spiegel.
