Moldova Protesters Vow To Press On Until New Poll Set

CHISINAU, Moldova -Anti-Communist protests in Moldova will continue until new legislative elections are called, one of the leaders of the opposition coalition leading the protests said Tuesday.

“The protests will continue until a date is set for new elections,” said Chisinau Mayor Dorin Chirtoaca, deputy head of the opposition Liberal Party which lost to the ruling Communists in Sunday’s election.

“We have asked international organizations to recognize the election results as invalid. We support the protest action in the center of Chisinau. The protests are justified, their participants are calling for justice to be restored,” he said.
