It appears that the Government has been able to retake parliament. Moldovan President Voronin and the Prime Minister Grecianii has held talks with the opposition while EU Foreign Policy Head Javier Solana has been urging restraint. The UN Chief Ban Ki-moon has also called for restraint.
The talks have not gone anywhere with the Government accusing the students and opposition groups of attempting a coup while the Opposition claims that the election was stolen. President Voronin has asked for intervention from the West in the Moldovan Situation.
President Voronin gave a speech on Moldovan TV accusing the opposition of being «Fascist who are drunk with anger and hate with the intention of trampling democracy». He went ahead and blamed Romania for the violence in Moldova. Mr. Voronin finished his speech by declaring the Romanian Ambassador to Moldova as a «Persona Non Grata» or not welcomed.
The Russian Foreign Ministry has talked about a «plot to undermine Moldova». One of the International Observers [Baroness Emma Nicholson] in the latest election has expressed doubts that the elections were free and fair. According to Vlad Fillat of the Liberal Democratic Party, the revolt is «a spontaneous action by protesting young people».
The news about the demonstration has spread via the Internet and Twitter. The underwriter attempted to call Moldova and Romania from an undisclosed place in Miami Florida without success. The underwriter also heard Radio Bulgaria on his shortwave radio and there were similar reports to what is being written.
There will be more information as the situation in Moldova evolves.
