Moldova communists stage anti-EU rallies

Moldova’s opposition Communist Party leader and former president, Vladimir Voronin, has said the country should join Russia's Customs Union instead of sealing an EU pact.

The 72-year old delivered his anti-EU tirade in Chisinau on the 25 November 2013, speaking amid an outbreak of anti-EU protests over the weekend.
