It never ceases to amaze me how the so called ‘free world’ ie western europe and the US claim to be staunch defenders of human rights and ‘democracy’ yet positively encourages the overthrow of democratically elected govts – sometimes violently – if they are of a left persuasion!

Thus chile’s Salvador allende was murdered and his socialist govt overthrown in a brutal cia organised coup!

While similar cia sponsored efforts have been made to overthrow chavez and his govt – yet the venezualan people keep electing him, much to the fury of the spooks in langley park virginia and the corporate controlled white house!!!

The PCRM in moldova has won 3 open and democratic elections in a row – so they must be doing something right so far as ordinary moldovans are concerned. Perhaps the electorate there has been impressed that as little as two years ago the moldovan economy was growing by nearly 7 percent!

Or perhaps they were put off voting for the so called ‘liberal’ parties because they planned to introduce right wing free market economic policies and wanted moldova to join NATO!

The PCRM is not anti Eu and is keen on forging closer ties with it – thus it has implimented the EUs own three-year action plan within the framework of the European Neighbourhood Policy. But the PCRM does have justifiable reservations about certain aspects of EU policy – in particular its forced ‘privatisation’ rules.

It is these same rules that would prevent a salf governing wales from renationalising the railways or the water industry in wales for example.

Incidentally bethan the laughingly called ‘radio free europe’ was set up in the late 1940s by the CIA who funded the station for most of its existence.

Flip flopping from Plaid, what a surprise!
