The use of Communist symbols as sickle and hammer for political purposes and propaganda will be prohibited in Moldova. A law on the matter was adopted today with the vote of 53 lawmakers of the ruling Alliance for European Integration (AIE). This initiative belongs to the Liberal Party, and was voted in two readings by the AIE lawmakers. Under the law, the use of symbols of totalitarian political regimes is banned. The law does not see the sanctions which be applied in case of violation. The law was criticized by the parliamentary faction of the PCRM who walked out the session hall immediately after its voting. They said they would appeal it to the Constitutional Court. Today, the MPs voted a draft law on condemnation of the Communism.
