276 million lei for the six mergers in Ungheni district. The municipal group takes 157.5

On 4 August the Government said how much it gives per head for mayoralty mergers: 3,000 lei. That figure is only the first term of the real formula. Applied to Ungheni district, with the National Bureau of Statistics table by locality, the three incentives yield 276.7 million lei for the six amalgamation groups — 157.5 million for the group around the municipality alone. It also explains the figure of 278 million announced on 31 July by the head of the Ungheni Territorial Office. The press release does not mention that second term, and the largest part of the money is conditional on a law that has not yet been published.

313 building permits and certificates in Ungheni district. From 2027, issued only digitally

The chief architect's briefing note, presented on Tuesday to the Ungheni District Council, sets out how many permissive acts the district's mayoralties issued in 2025: 150 urban planning certificates for design, 95 building permits, 32 demolition permits, 31 informative certificates and 5 change-of-use permits. The document also announces a deadline that changes the procedure for everyone: from 1 January 2027, permissive acts will be issued exclusively in digital form, through the state platform SIA GEAP. It also recalls two little-known procedures: the list of works that require no permit at all — among them, one-storey houses under 150 square metres in villages — and the route for registering houses built after 1996 without documents, open until 30 January 2028.

The „Vasile Alecsandri” Lyceum in Ungheni stays 7th in the country at the BAC

The ranking published by the Ministry of Education and the National Agency for Curriculum and Evaluation places the „Vasile Alecsandri” Theoretical Lyceum in Ungheni 7th out of 312 theoretical lyceums, with an exam average of 8,81 and a 100% pass rate — the second time in a row in the same position and the only lyceum from outside Chișinău to reach the top ten. But the document says something else about the raion as well: six of Ungheni's eight lyceums obtained better averages than last year, yet three fell in the ranking. The explanation lies in the way the list is ordered — by pass rate, not by average.

Rabies confirmed in Rezina, Ungheni district: animal sales banned in the village for 30 days after the last case

On 30 July the Emergency Situations Commission of the Ungheni district approved a 16-point anti-epizootic plan, after the Territorial Subdivision for Food Safety (Subdiviziunea Teritorială pentru Siguranța Alimentelor) confirmed a case of rabies in the village of Rezina, Mănoilești commune. Collecting and selling animals on the village's territory is banned, the movement of animals is halted, and every animal in the village's households is to be counted within five days. The restrictions lift 30 days after the last case — not 30 days after the decision. The act does not state the species of the infected animal; it became public only on 4 August, in a bulletin of the National Food Safety Agency — a dog. In 2025 the Ungheni district recorded four rabies cases — in the public health agency's list, right after Hîncești, with ten. Post-exposure prophylaxis — after a bite, a scratch or contact with saliva — is free.

Five amalgamation groups in Ungheni: 27 mayoralties inside, six outside them

The five amalgamation groups take in 27 of the 33 mayoralties in Ungheni district; six ended up outside them — three because they started a group of their own, one because it rejected the merger with reasons given. All the groups counted their population using 2024 figures — some 2,000 more people than there are today, with no effect on the legal threshold of 3,000 inhabitants.

19.16 million lei on energy in the schools and town halls of Ungheni raion. On audits, 74,500

Ungheni Raion Council signed the cooperation memorandum with the LEEN Moldova programme on 30 July. Public procurement data supply the figures: 19.16 million lei of energy contracted by the raion's town halls, lyceums and gymnasiums since 2023, 5.69 million invested in public lighting and 4.09 in boiler houses, and on thermal insulation actually carried out — not one leu out of these procurements. The energy audit, the first step of the method, appears twice in the whole raion, 74,500 lei. The memorandum asks for no membership fee, and its text is public: of the four signatories in the raion, two published it — Costuleni and the Raion Council.
