35 million lei for the road to Plaiul Fagului: what is changing in Rădenii Vechi

Ungheni district president Dionisie Ternovschi and the district council's head of construction, Diana Rogovschi, filmed the state of the works on 10 July on the access road to the „Plaiul Fagului” reserve, in the village of Rădenii Vechi. The roughly 35-million-lei worksite has reached the culverts and drainage stage; the gravel road is getting a new foundation, concrete gutters and almost two kilometres of pavement. Placing the site footage next to the procurement document shows how much it costs, who is building it and what the project actually involves.

Two more streets paved in Ungheni Vale, „from the local budget”. One is on the 10-million-lei road list, funded by debt

Ungheni City Hall announced on Friday that it had paved two more streets in the Ungheni Vale neighbourhood — Arcașii lui Ștefan and Suceava, 850 metres, „from the City Hall budget”. One of them, Arcașii lui Ștefan, appears however on the list of roads that the Municipal Council approved in May to be modernised from the 10-million-lei loan raised through municipal bonds — money that the people of Ungheni will repay, with interest. The decision publishes only the total ceiling, not how much each street costs.

400 wild-growing cannabis plants destroyed at Florițoaia Nouă and Grozasca, in Ungheni district

Carabinieri from the Ungheni Mobile Intervention Company and district police, in a joint operation, found and destroyed 400 cannabis plants that had grown wild and untended — 150 on the outskirts of the village of Florițoaia Nouă and 250 near the village of Grozasca. The plants, self-seeded on abandoned land, were destroyed on the spot to prevent their use for illegal purposes. No individuals were named as targeted.

An expired technical inspection will automatically suspend your registration — what changes for drivers in Ungheni

On 9 July, Parliament passed, in the second reading, a law that automatically suspends the registration of vehicles with an expired periodic technical inspection or with dangerous defects. When the inspection expires, the suspension applies immediately; for defects, after 30 days during which you may only drive to a garage. Anyone driving with a suspended registration risks fines of up to 1,200 lei and having their plates removed. The law takes effect in six months. For Ungheni residents the stake is concrete: 87 people died on the district's roads over ten years, and the inspection is done in town at just three stations.

Ungheni drinks from the Prut and sends its wastewater into the same river. The town hall has called in the environmental scientists of USM

On 8 July, the town hall of Ungheni signed an agreement with the Institute of Ecology and Geography of the State University of Moldova, on wastewater, ecosystem services and ecological infrastructure. The stake is concrete: the town takes its drinking water from the Prut — for more than 40,000 people — and discharges its wastewater into the basin of the same Prut, through a treatment plant that, according to the town hall's own 2018 strategy, was running on the mechanical stage only. The USM researchers called to Ungheni are precisely the ones who measure how much such a plant degrades the river downstream.

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.
