Unsuccessful putsch attempt

Giorgos Delastik see the protests against the communists' victory in the presidential elections as largely unsuccessful. "The attempt at a 'coloured' revolution in Moldova failed, at least in its first phase. This confirms once again the view that the model in which thousands of organised demonstrators, led by secret agents of the governments of former Soviet republics, try to overthrow [a government] in a putsch-like move … is experiencing a profound crisis. … The case of Moldova has the peculiarity that of all countries Romania is being portrayed as the organiser of the putsch attempt - a country which has been heavily dependent on the US ever since it became a Nato member and which is showing a particularly aggressive attitude by aligning itself with the extremist circles of the former US government of George [W.] Bush."
