Ungheni district learns from Buzău how not to miss EU money for water, sewerage and roads

The president of Ungheni district, Dionisie Ternovschi, took part in a working session where a delegation from the Romanian city of Buzău, led by mayor Constantin Toma, shared Romania's experience in attracting European funds. The meeting, organised by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development together with deputy PM Vladimir Bolea, focused on the lessons of the pre-accession period — preparing projects and feasibility studies in good time. Ternovschi says the priorities the district wants to address with such funds are water, sewerage and roads in Ungheni's villages.

Swedish support for the Ungheni merger: the ten city halls signed an agreement with SALAR International

On 24 June, the mayors of the ten localities that want to form a single municipality around Ungheni signed a framework agreement with SALAR International — the Swedish organisation running the «PACE Local» project in Moldova with Sida funding. The support, worth up to about 80,000 euros by City Hall's estimate, is to cover the new municipality's development strategy, one-stop service offices and energy audits for the schools in Semeni, Unțești and Brătuleni. But the agreement comes before the vote that will actually decide whether the merger happens.

Public-sector pay rises postponed to 1 January 2027: a one-off payment of 2,000–4,000 lei instead

The government has put out for public consultation the draft of a new public-sector pay law — increases of 10 to 30% for around 170,000 employees, from 1 September 2026. 'Up to 30%' is the ceiling, not the rule: the biggest rises go to the categories left furthest behind. For a district like Ungheni, where the average wage is almost 3,700 lei below the national average and thousands work in schools, hospitals and town halls, the reform hits the family budget directly. But it is still only a draft — and a parallel reform trims leave days.

Ungheni would be the start of Moldova's first European-gauge railway: the study of the 140 km/h line to Chișinău has begun in Brussels

In Brussels, at the launch of the EU's Connectivity Agenda Platform, the Republic of Moldova, the European Commission and the European Investment Bank recorded the start of preparing the feasibility study for an entirely new electrified railway with European gauge on the Ungheni–Chișinău route. Trains designed for at least 140 km/h, able to run without changing axles at the border — and the starting point is Ungheni itself. It is the step that carries inland the electrified line from Iași we wrote about last week. For now it is only a study: the real cost and timeline will come out of it.

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.
