The bloc ACUM didn’t change its position and will not accept the PDM’s second invitation to have a dialogue on the formation of the parliamentary majority either. According to the bloc’s representative Sergiu Litvinenko, they will not have negotiations with those who are responsible for the capturing of the state, IPN reports.

ACUM insists on the package of de-oligarchization laws proposed on March 12 and calls on all the responsible MPs to vote these laws in the first sittings of the new Parliament.

PDM vice president Andrian Candu, in a press briefing on March 14, said the representatives of the bloc ACUM are expected to come to discussions the next few days, until this Sunday. If this invitation is not accepted either, the PDM will convoke again the party’s executive committee to decide the further steps. The Democrats are ready to concede the administration of the future Government, including the post of Prime Minister.

In the February 24 parliamentary elections, the PSRM won 35 seats of MP, the PDM – 30, the electoral bloc ACUM DA PAS – 26 and the Shor Party – seven. Three independent candidates also entered Parliament.

Ludmila Capcelea, appointed as interim director of the Balti Clinical Hospital

by Milena Macarciuc 04.08.2026

The Balti Clinical Hospital has a new interim director, following the scandal related to the poor conditions in the institution’s food block. The position will be held by Ludmila Capcelea, who was introduced on Tuesday by the Minister of Health, Alexandru Gasnas, during a visit to the hospital. At the same time, the minister ordered a comprehensive inspection to assess the situation in the institution, reports IPN.

The arranged control will target the management of the institution, sanitary conditions, the organization of medical services, the use of public funds and the decision-making process.

Ludmila Capcelea was seconded from the Floresti District Hospital, where she held the position of director. According to the minister, her mandate is to stabilize the institution’s activity, improve administrative processes and place the patient at the center of decisions.

“The leadership role is not a privilege, it is a responsibility. In Balti, we are not just changing a director. We are starting a real reassessment and changing the way this hospital should operate”, said Alexandru Gasnas.

The appointment comes after the departure of Iurie Osoianu from the interim management of the Balti Clinical Hospital. The board of directors accepted his request to be relieved of his position in July, after images of the precarious conditions in the institution’s food block were publicly released. The interim position was later provided by Vladimir Pascaru.

by Iana Josu 04.08.2026

Consumers of SA Apa-Canal Chisinau will pay more for water and sewage. The new tariffs approved by the National Agency for Energy Regulation provide for an increase of about one leu per cubic meter for both drinking water and sewage and wastewater treatment services. However, the approved rates are lower than those initially requested by the operator, reports IPN.

According to the decision approved by ANRE, the tariff for potable water supply will be 14.03 lei per cubic meter, compared to the current 12.99 lei.

For the public sewerage and wastewater treatment service, ANRE has approved an average rate of 7.40 lei per cubic meter, compared to 6.63 lei currently. For domestic consumers, the rate will increase to 6.63 lei per cubic meter, from 5.63 lei, while for non-domestic consumers it will remain unchanged – 10.16 lei per cubic meter.

Furthermore, ANRE has approved a rate of 7.66 lei for a cubic meter of technological water, 4.57 lei lower than the previously applied rate, and a rate of 6.27 lei for a cubic meter for the production and transportation of water for redistribution, an increase of 2.05 lei compared to the current rate.

The new rates will come into effect after the resolution is published in the Official Gazette and will replace the rates approved in March 2025.
