The last remaining Communist government in mainland Europe appears set to lose power after the ruling party in Moldova failed to gain a majority in parliamentary elections.

Amid frantic behind-the-scenes horse-trading, four West-leaning opposition parties which between them won more than 50 per cent of the vote said today that they intended to unite to form a government in the former Soviet republic.

If they carry out their promise, they will prevent the Communists from remaining in office - leaving the island of Cyprus as the last remaining European state with a Communist government.

“Democracy and truth has finally been victorious,” said Vlad Filat, leader of the Liberal Democrats.

I didn't even know this country existed or was communist.
And who says you do not learn new things everyday

There will be a new election soon. The coalition will be far too fragile, it only has 53 of 101 seats, that combined with the fact that this is a 4 party coalition (they will be too weak and unable to agree on legislation) means the government will soon become impotent and fall.
