Europe’s Next Revolution?
The demonstrations in the Moldovan capital of Chisinau after last Sunday's elections are not like Ukraine's "Orange Revolution" in 2004. Most obviously, they have been far from peaceful. Nor have they been provoked by incontrovertible evidence of massive voting fraud. The demonstrators just don't like the governing party: Moldova is the only European country where a nominally "Communist" party has won largely free and fair elections, in 2001 and 2005.
