What 976,270 lei repaired at the high school in Măcărești, and who carried out the works

Ungheni District Council allocated 976,800 lei between 2023 and 2026 to the building of the «Elada» Theoretical High School in the village of Măcărești: the façade, 68 radiators, the heating pipes, one wall, the canteen's sewerage and the joinery in the bathroom and toilet. The public decisions showed only how much had been approved. The acceptance certificates, obtained by the newsroom from the school and from the District Council, now show who did the work and how much was paid: 976,270 lei, seven works, five contractors.

36.7 million lei for 2.14 km: Ungheni's Alexandru cel Bun street goes into reconstruction

On 20 July the Consiliul raional Ungheni (the Ungheni District Council) awarded the contract for rebuilding the stretch between Romană street and the Oleg Ungureanu — Decebal junction, part of district road L389. The works cost 36 677 184 lei including VAT — 17 139 lei for every metre of street — and went to SA „Drumuri Bălți”, the only company that submitted a bid. The bill is not the district's alone, however: an agreement approved by the two councils splits the cost 75% district and 25% town hall, and the streets in question passed into district ownership only in 2023, handed over free of charge by the town.

Whose money pays for the school renovations: in Costuleni, the district presents millions from the government as its own investments

The Ungheni District Council presented on Facebook the investments in the Todirești and Costuleni gymnasiums. The figures check out in documents — but at Costuleni, out of the roughly six-million-lei package, the district's own money is only the paving (531 thousand); the rest — the thermal insulation and the sanitary facilities — comes from the government and from the Ministry of Education. At Todirești, by contrast, the money really is the district's. All of it, five months before the reform takes these schools out of the District Council's subordination.

46 schools in Ungheni district move to the state, with 72.5% of the district budget — public documents do not say whether the district gains or loses

The Government has approved the draft «Restart in Education» reform, which still has to be voted by Parliament: from 1 January 2027, primary schools, gymnasiums, lyceums and special education move from district councils to Territorial Agencies for Education, subordinated to the ministry. District education departments are abolished. In Ungheni district this means 46 institutions with 11,061 pupils, and the segment that leaves amounts to 335.5 million lei, that is 72.5% of the district budget. The Ministry of Finance calculated that 14 district councils gain from the reform and 18 lose — but it did not publish the list, and Ungheni is not among the examples named.

Almost a million lei in four years for the high school building in Măcărești. Last year, the District Council allocated 505,500 lei for heating alone

The president of Ungheni district, Dionisie Ternovschi, published a video on Tuesday from the «Elada» Theoretical High School in Măcărești, saying that the district traditionally allocates money for current repairs there. The District Council's decisions put figures on that statement: 150,000 lei for 40 radiators in August 2025, 265,500 for the outdoor heating pipes in March and another 90,000 for rebuilding the standalone heating system in November — 505,500 lei in a single year, for heating alone. Added to the façade in 2023 and to the canteen wall and sewerage in May 2026, the allocations reach 976,800 lei in four years, for a school left with 19 pupils in grades X and XI.

Six health centres in Ungheni call the diaspora onto their boards — with a vote, but unpaid

A month after merging the district's health centres — from 11 down to 6 —, the Ungheni District Council is rebuilding their governing boards and inviting doctors who have left the country, as well as people from the community, to take a seat on them. The post carries a vote on the institution's strategy, budget and procurement, but it is unpaid, on a voluntary basis. Applications are due by the end of July — 24 July at the Ungheni Health Centre, 27 July according to the District Council's notice for all six centres.

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.
