Ion Calmîș

Founder and Editor-in-Chief

Founder and editor-in-chief of Triunghi.md. Ion (Nalyk) Calmîș has worked at the intersection of journalism and technology in the Republic of Moldova for over two decades — a road that began in Ungheni, as a reporter at the newspaper Unghiul. He is CTO of Studio Technologies, the company behind the platforms of some of the country's most-read newsrooms (unimedia.info, jurnal.md, jurnaltv.md, tvrmoldova.md), and Head of AI Ecosystem at Esempla Systems (Moldova's GovStack infrastructure); he co-founded the newsroom Replica Media. At Triunghi.md he puts that experience — and artificial intelligence, at scale — in the service of local journalism built on source triangulation (People, Documents, Data) and on impartiality.

Water in Ungheni rises to 40.01 lei/m³: ANRE approved an increase, eleven days after the "maintenance" announced by the city hall

On Tuesday, 7 July, the ANRE board approved new tariffs for "Apă-Canal Ungheni" SRL: drinking water rises from 23.54 to 25.17 lei/m³, and sewerage for household consumers from 14.71 to 14.84 lei/m³ — 40.01 lei/m³ in total, 1.76 lei more (+4.6%). The increase comes eleven days after the Ungheni Municipal Council announced the tariff would stay at 38.25 lei and that the operator had "dropped" an increase. The ANRE document shows, however, that the operator's tariff file was still under review — the agency cut it, rather than rejecting it.

Ungheni reinforces its Prut dike over 2.3 km and adds a riverfront promenade on top

Ungheni city hall has started work to reinforce the protective dike along the Prut and its tributary, the Delia, in the Ungheni-Vale neighbourhood — the area threatened by Prut floods in 2008, 2010 and 2020. The 2,341 metres of dike will carry a riverfront promenade with walkways, bike lanes and viewpoints over the river. The project is funded by the European Union with a €922,715 grant, through the cross-border Interreg programme, together with the twin city of Dorohoi in Romania.

Ungheni district pays for 400 day-camp places for children: who goes free and what everyone else pays

Ungheni District Council opened the second session of the “Prietenia” (Friendship) camp on 6 July — a “day camp” for children, in Ungheni and Măcărești. Behind the ceremony lie concrete figures that matter to parents: 1.26 million lei from the district budget, 400 places spread across four 10-day sessions, free for children from vulnerable families and a 15% fee for everyone else. The programme has become the district's main form of organised holiday after the “Codreanca” camp was liquidated in February.

Valea Mare village carves an oak troiță of memory for its war heroes and deportees

In the commune of Valea Mare, Ungheni district, local craftsmen are carving a public troiță — a wayside memorial cross — out of oak beams, dedicated to the villagers who fell in the two world wars and to those deported in 1941 and 1949. The monument began with an October 2024 decision of the communal council and is paid for from the local budget. The work is still in progress, but several answers are missing: how much it costs, when it will be finished and the final form of the dedication — the town hall has not made them public.
