Morituri (Romania) April 2, 2002 Besserabia Communists Scared By Radicalization of Protests [For Besserabia read Moldova, a sovereign nation and United Nations member, the name that Moldovans and every nation but Romania refer to it as.] -In the crowd one cold observe the Romanian Senator Ilie Ilascu, together with the chief of the OSCE mission to the Republic of Moldavia, David Swartz.... -...the demonstrators came to the Great National Assembly "to overthrow the communist regime Voronin...." The protests in the Republic of Moldavia seem to enter a new, more radical, phase, in which people ask for a block-resignation of the communist leadership and the organization of anticipated elections. Plus the withdrawal of the Russian troops from Transdniester. On the other hand, the communists of the Republic of Moldavia have no intention to acknowledge any of the resolutions adopted by the Assembly, which they consider a. "unauthorized action". In spite of the extreme hinders organized by the authorities, about 80,000 individuals gathered on Sunday downtown Kishinev. The demonstrators were caring placards with slogans like "We want the communists' block-resignation!", "Down your hands from Romanians' language and history!", "Down russification!", "I love Schangen!", "Release Cubreacov!", "Down the dictatorship!". In the crowd one cold observe the Romanian Senator Ilie Ilascu, together with the chief of the OSCE mission to the Republic of Moldavia, David Swartz, who announced the OSCE experts will monitor the Great National Assembly of Kishinev. One thing to notice is that Ilie Ilascu's presence to Kishinev seems to be able to complicate the Moldavian-Romanian relationships, given that he is Romanian parliamentarian. According to the press bureau of the Senate of Romania, Ilie Ilascu had not the permit of the Senate leadership to participate in the manifestation. The Great National Assembly started with the discourse of the president of the Popular Christian and Democratic Party (PPCD), Iurie Rosca, who declared that "in spite of the terror, intimidation and persecutions" of the communist regime of President Voronin, demonstrators still reached the place of the manifestation. He underlined that the demonstrators came to the Great National Assembly "to overthrow the communist regime Voronin in a peaceful, non-violent, correct but irreconcilable way". At the end of the meeting, the participants adopted a resolution in which they ask for the "Parliament of the Republic of Moldavia be convoked in a 48 hours term" and interdict the activity of political parties with fascist, nazi and communist orientations. The resolution also asks that "the Government, the General Prosecutor, the manager of the Intelligence and Security Service, the president of the state company "Teleradio" Moldavia, the manager of the national television and radio present their resignations within the same parliamentary meeting". "The 101 Deputies and the substitutes on the respective lists give up their mandates and the President establish a date for anticipated parliamentarian elections and resign", the document reads. Moreover, the demonstrators adopted a declaration in which they ask for the Russian federation to unconditionally withdraw troops and arms from the Republic of Moldavia, according to the engagements taken within OSCE. At the same time, the participants adopted a declaration on the disappearance of Deputy Vlad Cubreacov, showing that "the disappearing of the Christian-Democratic leader of European fame Vlad Cubreacov represents an act of political terrorism without precedent in the Republic of Moldavia". __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
