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.

Grain import licensing until 31 October. In Ungheni, millers and livestock farms will be the ones able to apply

Parliament passed the law in second reading on Friday, 4 September, with 53 votes — all from the PAS faction. The original bill would have run until 31 December 2027; what remains is a regime with a hard deadline of 31 October 2026, with no possibility of extension, and industry associations have been removed from the commission that will issue the licences. The law does not apply yet: it enters into force on publication in the Official Gazette. The import licence will be free, but only processors will be able to apply — livestock, milling, oils, animal feed — not traders. In Ungheni district that splits the two camps: 16,889 hectares of cereals on one side, the millers and 6,914 pigs on the other.
