That party is the opposition currently; the ruling coalition is a coalition of liberal parties: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliance_for_European_Integrati...

Even the "Party of Communists" is pretty questionable on the communist credentials, though. As far as I can tell from English-language sources, they're more of a right-leaning populist party, with the main communist connection being that they're Soviet nostalgists. But their Soviet nostalgia seems to have more to do with a vaguely nationalist nostalgia for the days of a once-great power, than much to do with workers-of-the-world-unite. Vaguely like Putin's views on the subject, or the way a handful of Britons are nostalgic for its once-great empire.
