Vasile Vasilache, the writer from Unțești: 100 years since his birth, a censored novel and a silver coin

On 4 July 2026, 100 years passed since the birth — in the village of Unțești, Ungheni district — of Vasile Vasilache, one of the most original prose writers of Bessarabia's 1960s generation. His novel «Povestea cu cocoșul roșu» (The Tale of the Red Rooster, 1966) also brought him ostracism: the second part was struck down by Soviet censorship, and the book appeared in full only in 1986. For the centenary, the state honours him with a silver coin, a symposium at the Academy and an exhibition at the National Library — all in Chișinău. In Ungheni, the living trace is the lower-secondary school in his native village that bears his name.

The Ungheni merger reaches the numbers: a consolidated budget estimated at 350 million lei

The Joint Working Group of the ten localities set to form a single town hall analysed, on 8 July, the assets, the staffing and the budgets — a consolidated budget estimated at about 350 million lei. In the same days, the district's first institutional voice of opposition is heard: the town hall of Cornești asks 'if we abolish the town halls, will the villages flourish?' — even though its own town hall is running the amalgamation questionnaires.

Ungheni doesn't have Moldova's most expensive water: at 40.01 lei, it pays under half of Glodeni

Dozens of Ungheni residents wrote, under the news of the price hike, that the town supposedly has the most expensive water in Moldova. The tariffs approved by ANRE show the opposite: at 40.01 lei/m³, only seven towns charge less, while at least nineteen — from Cantemir to Glodeni — charge more, some nearly double. The difference comes from the number of consumers and the water source: Ungheni draws it, treated, from the Prut, while towns like Rîșcani pump it cheaply from artesian wells. And the sense that we pay the most comes from something else — the tariff has just risen, eleven days after we were promised it would stay unchanged.

Ungheni District Youth Council collects books for a community library, through July 25

The young district councillors have launched a book-donation drive: anyone with volumes in good condition — for children, teenagers or adults — can offer them through a message on the council's Facebook page, until July 25. The books go to a community library that the announcement does not name. The gesture lands on a local nerve: the district's book stock has thinned by a quarter over two decades.

A €375,000 project with the nurses of Iași would bring the Ungheni District Hospital emergency equipment and a unit for medical waste

The Ungheni District Hospital announces that it is a partner in a cross-border project for responding to health crises — an outfit of emergency-care equipment and a unit for neutralising hazardous medical waste. The official document shows, however, that this is a provisional selection, with a European grant of at most €375,438.90 for the whole partnership: the contract has not yet been signed.

Ungheni's “Vasile Alecsandri” high school builds its first gym: 13.7 million lei for the first stage alone

The oldest high school in Ungheni district, whose roughly 620 students have had no indoor gym until now, finally has a construction site. The state procurement registry shows a 13.72-million-lei contract for the building's structure, won by COLASS SA. The walls go up this year, the interior follows in 2027 — and the total cost will be higher, because the second stage is not yet budgeted.

Fire at the Costuleni dump: district town halls warn that burning vegetation carries fines of 10,000–15,000 lei

Costuleni Town Hall filmed a new fire at the village dump, a few days after it had asked people not to burn dry vegetation. On the same day, Cioropcani Town Hall issued its own warning. The fire does not come from the day's heat — it is cooler now — but from vegetation left dry after the heatwave and from fires left unattended, an act for which the law provides stinging fines.
