130 destinies, a fountain and stone plaques — Valea Mare consecrates its memorial

On 29 August, in the village of Valea Mare in Ungheni district, the Memorial Complex of Heroes and Deportees was inaugurated and consecrated — the place of remembrance that grew from the oak cross Triunghi.md wrote about in July. The initiative of the Iucal family and Veronica Fiodorov, expanded by mayor Alexei Antoci, became a complex with commemorative plaques, a fountain, lighting and pavement, located in the village centre.

Valea Mare village carves an oak troiță of memory for its war heroes and deportees

In the commune of Valea Mare, Ungheni district, local craftsmen are carving a public troiță — a wayside memorial cross — out of oak beams, dedicated to the villagers who fell in the two world wars and to those deported in 1941 and 1949. The monument began with an October 2024 decision of the communal council and is paid for from the local budget. The work is still in progress, but several answers are missing: how much it costs, when it will be finished and the final form of the dedication — the town hall has not made them public.

22 July, the deadline: the Ungheni merger enters its final consultation before the vote

The ten localities set to form a single town hall around Ungheni opened a second public consultation on 2 July — this time on the concrete text of the merger decision, not on the principle. Recommendations are accepted until 22 July, and the document is public on the national platform particip.gov.md. It is the last stage before each council votes. In the villages, the first discontent is surfacing: in Costuleni, the most-liked comment compares the process to collectivisation.
