Supporters of Communists protest at Palace of Republic

Members and sympathizers of the Communist Party picketed the Palace of the Republic in the morning of March 14. The protesters criticized the government, saying the ruling parties are unable to manage the country and all the state institutions became nonfunctional. According to them, the early elections are the only way out of the crisis situation, Info-Prim Neo reports. The leader of the Communist Party Vladimir Voronin disapproved of the fact that this week’s sittings of Parliament were postponed and reiterated that Speaker Marian Lupu should be dismissed.
