Moldova on the rocks

It's late and I don't have a lot of time to type but it's been a rough week in Moldova and I thought I should write something about it.   Paliamentary elections were held this past Sunday and the Communists won which lets them pick the next president.  There have been acusations of voter fraud and mass demonstrations at the parliament building.  Of course most of my Moldovan friends on Facebook are up in arms calling for an end to the communist rule in the country.  I've been trolling the internet trying to find a decent article about it but without much success.   I don't know whether or not the election was fraudulent (although I have a good guess) but I understand the helpless rage that fills those protesters (most of whom are college students) at the thought of another 18 years like Moldova's first 18.

Since I couldn't find a good article I'm linking to a film about Moldova made by a PC friend. calamoldova.com
"Ca La Moldova" translates as "Like in Moldova."
