Bumbăta plays the «MAGIRUS» semifinal return leg without a player and without its club representative — 1,400 lei fine for threats against referees

The Competitions Commission of the Ungheni Territorial Football Association sanctioned FC Haiduc Bumbăta after the semifinal first leg against Mănoilești: player Nicolae Pușculița and representative Ion Matrosu are each suspended for three matches, and the club pays 1,400 lei — for offensive conduct and threats against the referees. The decision lands on a team that already has a 0–2 to overturn in the return leg, and it stirred, in the comments, a debate about the consistency of the penalties. The edition's bulletins so far show how sanctions are decided in district football — and how much the documented fines add up to.

Ungheni paves Mihai Viteazul street “from the local budget” — it's on the list for the 10-million loan

On 23 July, Ungheni City Hall announced the repair of Mihai Viteazul street — 500 metres in the Berești-Vasilica neighbourhood — carried out “from the local budget” by the municipal company Servicii Comunale Ungheni. Public records show the street is one of 14 objects on a list the Municipal Council approved in May to be modernised with a 10-million-lei loan raised through municipal bonds; the decision publishes only the overall ceiling and how many metres are to be paved, not the cost of each street. The work is done in-house, without a separate works tender — a lawful model, but one in which the cost of the repair remains, so far, unpublished.

The 9-year-old boy who went missing in the Prut at Ungheni has been found dead

The search at Ungheni has ended in tragedy. On Thursday morning, 23 July, at 09.47, divers of the General Inspectorate for Emergency Situations found the body of the 9-year-old boy swept away on Tuesday by the currents of the Prut while bathing with other children. The body was found 3–4 kilometres downstream from where he entered the water; the exact cause of death is to be established by law enforcement. The tragedy comes a month after the district's Emergency Situations Commission ordered patrols in the bathing areas along the Prut.

Ungheni has 18 residential buildings left from before 1919. From a house demolished in Dănuțeni, the museum saved the carved window

A museum curator happened to walk past a house being demolished in the Dănuțeni district and called his colleagues to pull out of the rubble whatever could still be saved: a solid wood window carved on three registers, a gable with a solar rosette. The pieces are now on display at the Museum of History and Ethnography. The house was not a listed monument — nor could it have been: in the state register, the Ungheni district's list occupies positions 1573 to 1720, and not one dwelling house appears in it. The 2024 census shows how much is left of the town's old layer: 18 residential buildings erected before 1919, out of nearly 5,000.

Ungheni District, down nearly a quarter of its population, prepares for workers from Nepal and India

At the 22 July meeting of the European MILEstone project, employers in agriculture, manufacturing and services confirmed, according to the council's statement, their readiness to hire workers from outside the EU, while the District Council is looking for ways to bring to life a Migrant Integration Centre — the first of its kind in a district, according to publicly available information. Behind the announcement stand hard numbers: the district went from 96.471 to 73.971 inhabitants in 12 years, the number of young people aged 20–34 fell by 58%, and in 2025 Nepal became the leading country of origin for foreign workers arriving in Moldova.

The Dutch model shown in Ungheni: 342 municipalities instead of 1,121, but the number has not changed since 2023

Eric Geurts, mayor of the municipality of Beekdaelen in the south of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, met on Tuesday in Ungheni with the mayors of the localities going through voluntary amalgamation. The municipality he leads is itself the product of a merger: it was created on 1 January 2019 out of three municipalities that asked to be merged, through a law passed by the Dutch parliament. The Netherlands has gone from 1,121 municipalities in 1899 to 342 today — but the number has not moved since 2023, and the most-cited studies there show that mergers cut administration costs without raising spending on services, and lastingly reduced voter turnout. The public consultation on the Ungheni merger closes on Wednesday.

The City Hall says the „Heart” in Ungheni's centre is broken again and again. The police: no vandalism cases recorded

Ungheni City Hall says the installation in Independence Square, put up in August 2023, is being vandalised repeatedly, and that the police have detained several perpetrators. How much the installation cost and how much the repairs have cost so far appears in no public source. The law, by contrast, is clear: the same act can be treated as an offence, carrying 900–1,800 lei, or as vandalism — a crime with no damage threshold, carrying a fine from 27,500 lei or up to one year in prison. When the perpetrator is a minor, the bill reaches the parents, and the fine money does not return to the town's budget.

Almost a million lei in four years for the high school building in Măcărești. Last year, the District Council allocated 505,500 lei for heating alone

The president of Ungheni district, Dionisie Ternovschi, published a video on Tuesday from the «Elada» Theoretical High School in Măcărești, saying that the district traditionally allocates money for current repairs there. The District Council's decisions put figures on that statement: 150,000 lei for 40 radiators in August 2025, 265,500 for the outdoor heating pipes in March and another 90,000 for rebuilding the standalone heating system in November — 505,500 lei in a single year, for heating alone. Added to the façade in 2023 and to the canteen wall and sewerage in May 2026, the allocations reach 976,800 lei in four years, for a school left with 19 pupils in grades X and XI.
