The Ungheni station, promised to the City Hall: an announcement without an act, money or deadline

On August 11, in Ungheni, Vladimir Bolea, the Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development, announced that the bus and railway station will be transferred to the City Hall and turned into a multimodal hub, and the mayor, Vitalie Vrabie, promised swift investments. What that means, concretely: the public registers contain no decision — neither of the Municipal Council nor of the Government — on the transfer; the ministry's official press release from the same day does not even mention the station; and the contested routes from „Slavena” continue to depart from the same parking lot. Why a sentence spoken on the ground changes, for now, nothing on substance.
