In a move that reeks of desperation on both sides, Dodon and his PSRM allied the leftovers of PCRM and will run together with them as an Alliance of Socialists and Communists. This is highly surprising after Dodon and Voronin have been fighting for 9 years. Voronin never forgot how his former lieutenant stole his party from right under him, sabotaged his plans to get into power, and ultimately sent him out of the Parliament. And there has been no shortage of virulent attacks between the two. However, Dodon probably wanted the few percentage points of PCRM very badly and Voronin wanted seats in Parliament for himself or his allies after 2 years on the bench, so this new unusual construction has emerged.
Voronin the father, I assume? He's still harboring some hope for a political comeback at 80? Oh well. hope dies last, after all. Did anything come out of the charges against Voronin the son, btw?
