AFP. 31 March 2002. Thousands protest against government in Moldovan capital. CHISINAU -- Tens of thousands of opposition supporters rallied in the Moldovan capital on Sunday, vowing to topple the former Soviet republic's Communist government led by President Vladimir Voronin. Yury Roshka, leader of the opposition Christian Democratic Popular Party, which organised the rally, has adopted a resolution accusing the Communists of having "usurped power, introduced media censorship, wrested control of the judiciary and violated human rights." The opposition party said the parliament should convene a special session to outlaw "fascist, nationalist and Communist parties and their symbols" like Lenin's statues and the hammer and sickle as well as the swastika. After that, all officials appointed by the parliament, including the government, the prosecutor general, and head of the public television and radio, should be fired. Furthermore, as the Moldovan constitution does not allow for the parliament to be dissolved, all lawmakers should renounce their mandates, prompting the president to name the date for new elections and resign on the spot. [N.B.] However, this scenario has little chance of success as the Communists hold 71 seats in parliament out of 101, while Roshka's party has only 11 seats. Voronin has refused to hold talks with the opposition, which he accused of taking some 200 million dollars (230 million euros) from Romania and the self-proclaimed republic of Transdniestr to chase Communists from power. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
