A Social-Democratic platform could be soon formed in Parliament by the MPs of the Democratic Party (PDM) and the group of 14 lawmakers who left the Party of Communists, the first deputy head of the PDM Vlad Plahotniuc said after discussions with the 14 MPs, IPN reports.

“The meetings were held with the aim of identifying methods of political cooperation between the two sides, both short-term ones, by taking part in the formation of a stable majority, and short-term ones, by creating a joint political platform,” it is said in a press release of the PDM. Vlad Plahotniuc supports the idea of setting up a Social-Democratic platform in Parliament – a powerful political group with MPs who have common views and goals and who are ready to offer the new government consistent political support for doing the difficult reforms that they are to undertake.

According to him, the new government must start work by doing radical reforms since the first days of the formation, which could prevent economic and political groups from promoting their interests. The new government does not have grace and accommodation periods, while the countdown begins on the investiture day. That’s why the political stability of the future government is vital. It should be protected from political crises and supported to work in peace.

In a press release, the 14 MPs say that the Social-Democratic parliamentary platform is beginning to take shape because there are common ideas and views. The former Communists express their readiness to help overcome the profound political crisis experienced by Moldova by forming a competent government that will not be hostage to the narrow interests of party leaders.

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.
