Episode 7: The Alliance for European Integration (Part 2 of 3)

This episode is part of a 3 part mini-series with guest George Teodorescu looking at the first Alliance for Europe. This series will cover the still murky events of April 2009, the rise of the first pro-European coalition government and the collapse of that government following the Theft of the Billion and subsequent rise of Plahotniuc.

This episode covers the creation of the first Alliance for European Integration and the successes and failures of that coalition government. We start with the long process of Voronin and the Communists exiting the scene and the appearance of a number of figures who will foreshadow future political twists and turns.
