The children's hearing room at the Ungheni Police has not been used since 2017

The Ungheni Police Inspectorate has replied to the newsroom: in the minors' hearing room fitted out in 2014 — one of only two functional ones out of the eight opened across the country at the time — not a single child has been heard since 2017, because hearings take place at the Ungheni Court, before the investigating judge. The space inaugurated on 24 July and announced by the Embassy of the Kingdom of the Netherlands is a different one, cost around 42 thousand lei and is not meant for hearings: the police confirm it does not meet the requirements of article 110¹ of the Code of Criminal Procedure. The Barnahus-type centre for the Centre region is scheduled only by the end of 2027, and the integrated service that operates in Ungheni admits, under its regulations, women from the age of 18.

Whose money pays for the school renovations: in Costuleni, the district presents millions from the government as its own investments

The Ungheni District Council presented on Facebook the investments in the Todirești and Costuleni gymnasiums. The figures check out in documents — but at Costuleni, out of the roughly six-million-lei package, the district's own money is only the paving (531 thousand); the rest — the thermal insulation and the sanitary facilities — comes from the government and from the Ministry of Education. At Todirești, by contrast, the money really is the district's. All of it, five months before the reform takes these schools out of the District Council's subordination.

Ten localities, 42,000 residents: Ungheni Municipal Council votes to amalgamate into a single municipality

On July 24, the Ungheni Municipal Council met in an extraordinary session and, according to the Mayor's Office, adopted the decisions that open the way toward 'a new model of administrative organization' — the city's own step in the voluntary amalgamation with nine neighboring localities, one of the largest clusters of its kind in the country: 10 administrative-territorial units and about 42,316 residents, with Ungheni as the center. The text of the municipal decision had not yet been published in the state register at the time of this article.

Twice a national "Youth Capital," Ungheni dedicates a week to a shrinking youth

From 10 to 16 August, the Ungheni city hall and the Municipal Youth Centre are holding "Youth Week" (ZiT 2026) around International Youth Day on 12 August. Ungheni has good reason to call itself a "city of youth" — it held the national title of Youth Capital twice, in 2011 and 2023. But the celebration takes place in a district the young leave first: the number of people aged 15–34 has halved over the past decade, faster than the national average. We explain what the event is, where the "city of youth" identity comes from, and why, here, a youth week is more than a summer party.

What you can get for free from your family doctor in Ungheni: cancer screening, vaccines, TB checks

On 23 July, the director of the Ungheni Health Centre presented the district council with a mid-year report on primary healthcare for the first half of 2026. Beyond the report-style language, the five „priority directions” are, in fact, a list of prevention services any Ungheni resident can request for free — from the cervical cancer test to vaccines and tuberculosis screening. We explain what each one is, who is entitled to it, what is free and how to reach it through your family doctor — and why, in an ageing district where seven in ten people die of heart disease and cancer, prevention matters here more than the average.

Mihai's birthday wish: 43.287 lei to sterilise 30 dogs from the Ungheni shelter

For his birthday, at 30, Mihai Lazar — a veterinarian at the AlgaVet clinic in Ungheni and president of the ALGA association — made a single wish: to raise 30.000 lei to sterilise 30 dogs from the Ungheni shelter. The wish came true and then some: 43.287,20 lei. Beyond the warm gesture, the stake is one of public health — in a district that in 2025 was among the hardest hit by rabies in the country, and where sterilisation, coupled with vaccination, is the method international bodies recommend instead of mass killing.
