Several months after the revelations about the inhumane conditions and exploitation of disabled people at the Temporary Placement Center in Badiceni, authorities report that funds have been allocated for repairs, and employees suspected of abuses are being investigated and face sanctions. The topic was discussed at today’s Parliament meeting, reports IPN.

The information was presented in full, after the president of the Communist and Socialist Bloc faction, Vlad Batrincea, repeatedly demanded the establishment of an investigative committee regarding the situation of the center in Badiceni. He also requested the general prosecutor and the minister of labor and social protection to be heard in full session.

“I proposed these hearings two months ago, but so far no one has been held accountable. The public has not been informed about the measures taken. We demand the hearing of the Attorney General and the Minister of Labor and Social Protection, as well as the creation of an investigation committee”, emphasized Vlad Batrincea.

The proposal of the socialist deputy did not garner the necessary number of votes to be accepted.

In this context, Marina Morozova, the Vice President of the Parliamentary Commission for Social Protection, Health and Family, stated that the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has initiated an internal investigation. “Employees suspected of degrading treatment towards beneficiaries will be sanctioned and suspended from their positions. We are talking about 24 people. Measures are being taken to prevent such situations, and the ministry is set to create a national registry of people placed in such centers”, the deputy declared.

Regarding the degrading living conditions, the parliamentarian announced that the ministry has allocated 1.6 million lei for repairs and improvement of the infrastructure of the center in Badiceni.

In March, Grigore Novac, the president of the Commission for Human Rights and Interethnic Relations, noted that, following a visit carried out together with representatives of the People’s Advocate Office, they found precarious conditions in the center. The former director and some employees are accused of exploiting several beneficiaries through labor, including persons with disabilities, over the course of several years.

by Editor Editor 25.07.2026

Economic operators and service providers will be required to ensure the accessibility of products and services for people with disabilities, the elderly, and individuals with temporary or permanent functional limitations. The accessibility requirements are contained in a bill voted on in the first reading by Parliament, reports IPN.

The new requirements will target six areas: technology and software programs, e-commerce, financial services, transportation, services provided by public institutions, and emergency communications. The regulations will also apply to electronic communication services, access to audiovisual media services, web pages, mobile applications, and self-service terminals.

Accessibility requirements will also be mandatory for certain products, such as hardware systems, payment terminals, ATMs, and e-book readers. Micro-enterprises that offer services will be exempt from complying with these obligations.

The project, developed by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, aims to increase the autonomy and inclusion of people who face access difficulties.

Non-compliance with accessibility requirements will be subject to administrative penalties. The project will be examined in the second reading, and the new rules will come into effect on January 1, 2028, with certain exceptions for products and services.

A new section of Muncesti Road has entered the rehabilitation process. The City Hall of Chisinau announces that the milling works on the roadway have begun on the sector between Arca Moldovei Street and Bacioii Noi Street, a stage that precedes the complete modernization of the asphalt surface, reports IPN.

On this section, with an area of approximately 23 thousand square meters, two layers of asphalt concrete are to be applied, the stormwater drainage channels are to be rehabilitated, and the shoulders are to be arranged with crushed stone.

In parallel, on the sector between Arca Moldovei Street and Iuri Gagarin Boulevard, the rehabilitation works using Slurry Seal technology are nearing completion.

According to the municipality, after the completion of the works, Muncesti Road will have a modernized roadway, with better traffic conditions and an increased level of safety for traffic participants.
