The lindens are in bloom on Eminescu and Veronica Micle streets: central Ungheni smells of summer — but only for a few days

On Mihai Eminescu and Veronica Micle streets in central Ungheni the linden trees are in bloom, and the Culture Department is inviting residents to walk under the 'rain' of golden flowers while the scent lasts. It is a spectacle of just a few days — and a lovely coincidence: the poet whose name the street bears wrote, in his poem 'Dorința' (Desire), of linden flowers that 'fall row upon row'.

770 metres of pavement with a bike lane on Ștefan cel Mare: a busy Ungheni street will finally have a sidewalk end to end

On a busy stretch of Ștefan cel Mare street in Ungheni — from the former biochemical plant to Podurilor street — a pavement is being built for the first time: 770 metres, with a bike lane, after which the street will have a sidewalk along its whole length. The work is done by the municipal company «Servicii Comunale Ungheni», and it is one item on a list of roads the city is financing in 2026 with borrowed money, through municipal bonds — while residents of other streets are asking for pavements too.

Six suspensions and 1,600 lei in fines in the «MAGIRUS» Cup: the return leg that decides FC Barsa's opponent loses three players

The Competition Commission of the Ungheni Territorial Football Association has validated the round of 16 of the «MAGIRUS» district Cup and sanctioned six players with suspensions and clubs with 1,600 lei in fines. Three of the red cards fell in the FC Start Pîrlița – FC Haiduc Bumbăta tie — the match that decides who will face FC Barsa Ungheni — so Sunday's return leg will be played without two Pîrlița players and one from Bumbăta. The heaviest punishment, three matches, went to an FC Barsa player.

Farmers roll out the tractors tomorrow over an 8% VAT: a Valea Mare grower says the jump to 20% «will be a big minus»

The “Forța Fermierilor” (Farmers' Force) association has called a nationwide protest for Wednesday, 24 June, with agricultural machinery on the country's roads, after talks with the Finance Ministry hit a dead end. The stake: the government wants to raise farm VAT from 8% to 20% starting 1 October. It sounds like a budget line — until a farmer from Valea Mare, Ungheni district, shows what it does to 2,000 hectares of grain. The exact protest locations had not yet been announced; that it would also reach Ungheni district we could not confirm at a primary source.

A village in Ungheni district entered sociology textbooks 95 years ago. Gusti's Cornova returns to Ungheni — in photographs

In the summer of 1931, a team of 55 scholars led by sociologist Dimitrie Gusti descended on a village in today's Ungheni district and studied it down to the last detail — the first Bessarabian village ‘read' scientifically. The expedition's photographer, Iosif Berman, left images that made history. Ninety-five years on, a son of the village, Vasile Șoimaru, sets them beside his own photographs of today. The exhibition opens on Thursday, 25 June, at the “Dimitrie Cantemir” Library in Ungheni.

Two tablets for two volunteers, in a town that was once the «Youth Capital» yet keeps losing its 20-year-olds

The Ungheni city hall and the bank MAIB awarded tablets to two high-school graduates — Sorina Iachimovschi and Maxim Angheluță — for their volunteering at the Municipal Youth Centre. The gesture is small, but it rests on a surprisingly dense youth infrastructure: two centres, the title of «Youth Capital» and a municipal grants programme. The question it raises is bigger than a tablet: can all this machinery keep a generation at home? National Bureau of Statistics figures show that the number of 20–24-year-olds in the district has fallen by 62% in a decade.

The “Basarabia” Kyiv–Chisinau train stops in Ungheni daily from 28 June, after years of a rare service

The international “Basarabia” train, which links Kyiv to Chisinau through Ungheni station, switches from an every-other-day service to a daily one on 28 June. Ukrainian Railways announced the change after talks with the Railway of Moldova; for Ungheni residents it means a direct rail link every day — towards Chisinau and eastward — plus a new carriage for families with children. It is a different line from the one towards Iasi that is discussed in connection with electrification.

Over 25 million lei for Ungheni's Decebal street: works begin on 24 June

Ungheni City Hall reopens the construction site on Decebal street, in the Tineretului neighbourhood, on 24 June. A 1,003-metre stretch leading to the free economic zone, planned since 2022, is being rebuilt for more than 25 million lei, mostly from government funds.

A free bank account for pensioners and fees in plain sight: the law affecting 19,709 Ungheni pensioners clears its first vote

Parliament has passed in first reading an NCFM law that will force banks to display their fees in a standardized document, create a public fee-comparison website and guarantee everyone the right to a “payment account with basic features” — free of charge for the financially vulnerable, chiefly pensioners. In the Ungheni district, home to 19,709 pensioners, where nearly two thirds of people live in villages and one in four is over 60, the stake is financial inclusion: only 55.5% of adults in Moldova still have a bank account, down from 64.2% in 2021. Note: this is only the first reading, and the provisions take effect only 12–24 months after publication.
