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.

Border Police Day in Ungheni, the city that guards the Prut from Cuhnești to Leușeni

On 10 June the Border Police celebrated its professional day, marked in Ungheni too, at the Palace of Culture, where the district administration presented the force with a Diploma of Honour. Beyond the ceremony, the city has a particular reason to celebrate: it hosts the West Regional Directorate, the structure overseeing eight sectors of the Moldovan-Romanian border — including Sculeni, one of the busiest road gateways to the European Union. Ungheni is also home to the country's only institution that trains border police officers.

Ungheni pays €7,560 a year for the Eurocities network. At a second meeting in 3 months, what the city has gained

Mayor Vitalie Vrabie and district head Dionisie Ternovschi are attending the annual Eurocities conference (8–10 June) in Utrecht — the network's second meeting in three months. Membership costs the municipal budget €7,560 a year, a sum approved publicly by the city council. Fifteen months after joining, the concrete record so far is mostly about visibility — a profile in the network and the social-medical day centre showcased as a model — with no projects or funding secured.

Farm subsidies 2026–2030: EU-style rules decide who gets the 18.9 billion lei

The government has approved an agricultural subsidy programme for 2026–2030 under which the annual fund grows from 2.3 to 5.3 billion lei. Nearly three quarters of the money goes to investment rather than per-head livestock payments, and the new EU-style conditions require farmers to keep records that many small producers simply don't have. For a farming, largely rural district like Ungheni, the subsidy becomes a tool for modernisation — but also a filter.

23 of 33 town halls in Ungheni district fall below the reform's proposed 3,000-resident threshold

The government is preparing the most sweeping local-administration reform in years: a 3,000-resident threshold for a viable town hall, voluntary amalgamation of localities and the reduction of the 32 districts to 10. Nationwide, more than 700 decisions to launch the process have already been adopted. A newsroom calculation shows that, in Ungheni district, 23 of the 33 town halls fall below the proposed threshold. Five villages in the district are already discussing a merger, and the mayors' association is warning against forced amalgamation.
