An 11-year-old boy lost in «Micul Cluj» park was walked home by carabinieri — the third person the same company has helped in 12 days

The boy, disoriented, could not find his own way home. Carabinieri on patrol identified where he lived and took him back to his parents. Across the whole country in 2025, carabinieri returned more than 20 lost children to their families — and the official rule when a child goes missing is to call 112 immediately, not after 24 hours.

Seven pupils from Ungheni's art school are exhibiting in Iași, in a Municipal Museum gallery, until 31 July. Entry is free

The exhibition «Linii în dialog» («Lines in Dialogue») brings together 17 young artists from Iași and Ungheni at the «Dumitru I. Grumăzescu» Galleries in Iași — a section of the «Regina Maria» Municipal Museum, the museum network of Iași City Hall. It is open until 31 July, and its opening was held on Thursday, 16 July. Seven of the exhibitors are pupils of the «Raisa Cojocaru» School of Fine Arts in Ungheni, coached by the school's headmistress. The show is run not by the school but by an association from Iași, through a project whose partners include Ungheni City Hall. Entry is free.

Ungheni City Hall advertised, 16 months ago, the very job for which it is now getting an American volunteer for free

On 13 July, City Hall announced that Megan Knox — a Peace Corps volunteer who came from Seattle — is joining the team for two years, to digitalise its services. The natural question is why not a Polytechnic graduate, from Ungheni. The answer is in City Hall's own archive: on 21 March 2025 it advertised the post of “IT specialist (in Digital Transformation)” — and it asked not for engineering, but for public administration, economics or law. No result of that competition was ever published, and the mayor says now that he still wants the person. City Hall's best-paid specialist earns 8,960 lei a month; the average in IT services is 49,654. And the job itself — “digitalisation specialist” — is not allowed to exist, as a title, in the staffing schedule of any city hall in Moldova.

The «Elegie» children's choir of Ungheni's Music School wins the Grand Prize at an international competition

The «Elegie» children's choir, conducted by Ala Beleac, won the Grand Prize at the Elite International Arts Competition 2026 — a first-edition contest held entirely online. The distinction is a real victory for the children of Ungheni's Music School, and an occasion to look at the system behind it: a network of municipal art schools with nearly six decades of tradition, in a district that has lost more than half of its young people in twelve years.

The Micul Cluj Park stage belonged to the children: a free evening of gymnastics and music in Ungheni

On Thursday evening, 9 July, gymnasts from two local studios and young soloists held the audience captive on the Micul Cluj Park stage in Ungheni, at a new evening of the „Vara Culturală-n Parc” (Cultural Summer in the Park) project. Beyond the show, it is about something concrete for the town's families — a free, open-air cultural programme that runs all summer and, this year, carries extra weight: with the House of Culture building going into renovation, the town's main hall has moved outdoors.

The House of Culture in Măcărești is crumbling — and with it the «Hora cu cinci fete» mosaic the state doesn't list as a monument

In the House of Culture of Măcărești village, built in 1972 and closed since 2005, survives «Hora cu cinci fete» (the round dance of five girls) — a monumental mosaic that also gave its name to a book by writer Ștefan Susai. A recent Moldova 1 reportage and a public appeal to the Minister of Culture put the ruined building back in the spotlight. Less has been said, though, that neither the mosaic nor the building appears in the state register of protected monuments — and that a village which drew over 8 million lei through «European Village» for a kindergarten and water lacks the roughly 30 million the mayor puts on paper for restoration.

In Ungheni, state institutions took to their bikes for «VeloVineri», riding the newly rehabilitated Burebista street

On Friday, 10 July 2026, Ungheni's weekly «VeloVineri» ride gathered representatives of the town's deconcentrated institutions, brought together by the head of the Territorial Office, Ion Poia. Mayor Vitalie Vrabie gave the start outside the town hall, and the route took the group to the Dănuțeni neighbourhood, along the newly rehabilitated Burebista street — the same one where the administration launched works worth over 10 million lei this summer. Two weeks after the town hall promised a ride every Friday, the initiative shows it has held up.

On Sunday, four second legs decide the „MAGIRUS” Cup semifinalists — the hardest one in Ungheni

The quarterfinal second legs of the Ungheni district football cup „MAGIRUS” are played on Sunday, 12 July — four matches that decide the semifinalists. The hardest task is FC Bârsa Ungheni's: after a 2-5 first leg against FC Haiduc Bumbăta, it needs a „remontada” at home. The full schedule, kick-off times, venues and what each team has to overturn.
