Ungheni education trade union joins national protest over salaries

The Executive Bureau of the district's education trade-union structure, led by Lilia Savin, decided on 10 August to back the protest calendar announced by the Federation of Education and Science Trade Unions — from picketing the Government on 19 August to a possible boycott of celebrations on 5 October. The reason: the salary increases promised to teachers for 1 September have become uncertain. What the trade union demands, what the Government answers, and what it means for the district's nearly 900 teachers.

At Sculeni, the farmers' protest blocked the border crossing on 25 June, reopened only toward evening

The farmers' protest against the rise in agricultural VAT reached the border of Ungheni district on 25 June: farm machinery blocked access to the Sculeni border crossing, along with three other customs points and several national roads. According to the Border Police, traffic at Sculeni was restored only around 6 p.m. It is the official-source confirmation of what we had flagged as possible: the protest touched Ungheni directly.

Farmers roll out the tractors tomorrow over an 8% VAT: a Valea Mare grower says the jump to 20% «will be a big minus»

The “Forța Fermierilor” (Farmers' Force) association has called a nationwide protest for Wednesday, 24 June, with agricultural machinery on the country's roads, after talks with the Finance Ministry hit a dead end. The stake: the government wants to raise farm VAT from 8% to 20% starting 1 October. It sounds like a budget line — until a farmer from Valea Mare, Ungheni district, shows what it does to 2,000 hectares of grain. The exact protest locations had not yet been announced; that it would also reach Ungheni district we could not confirm at a primary source.
