Pro-Western Moldovian Riots
Apr 8, 2009
As of nearly 24 hours ago, violent protests errupted in Moldova over election results. The Communist Party won those elections. Pro-European elements within Moldova, mostly the young, stormed parliment hurling stones and shouting pro-Western slogans.
Moldovan government officials argued that elements within Romania had sparked the riots through new ICT methods, such as Twitter. Opposition parties call for fresh elections.
