		Cossutta minacciava di chiudere immediatamente la rivista senza pagare tipografia e collaboratori il che, spiegava Dobrynin, avrebbe comportato "inevitabilmente un procedimento giudiziario e la non meno inevitabile rivelazione del nostro finanziamento segreto alla rivista, e di conseguenza un grosso scandalo politico".

		Cossutta admits that the majority of PRC members (70-90%) have remained with the PRC, but maintains that the majority of PRC voters would support the PDCI.
