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.

46 schools in Ungheni district move to the state, with 72.5% of the district budget — public documents do not say whether the district gains or loses

The Government has approved the draft «Restart in Education» reform, which still has to be voted by Parliament: from 1 January 2027, primary schools, gymnasiums, lyceums and special education move from district councils to Territorial Agencies for Education, subordinated to the ministry. District education departments are abolished. In Ungheni district this means 46 institutions with 11,061 pupils, and the segment that leaves amounts to 335.5 million lei, that is 72.5% of the district budget. The Ministry of Finance calculated that 14 district councils gain from the reform and 18 lose — but it did not publish the list, and Ungheni is not among the examples named.

Bușila, Chirileni and Negurenii Vechi want to merge: three mayoralties into one, above the 3,000-resident threshold

Three neighbouring communes in Ungheni district — Bușila, Chirileni and Negurenii Vechi — have started the voluntary amalgamation process and are now consulting their residents. Each council voted, in the spring, to initiate the merger, and together the three would gather 3,533 residents — above the 3,000 threshold that the administrative reform requires of a mayoralty. The idea of a single administration for three villages divides people: some see it as a chance for better services, others fear they will lose their home mayoralty. Here is what has been decided so far, what comes next and what the two camps say.
