Another MP quits

Otilia Drăguțanu has announced she is leaving the Democratic group and Parliament altogether. “After giving it a lot of thought, I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m not made for politics, and politics is not made for me,” she posted to Facebook.

“I’ve always known where I belong and where my contribution and abilities can be most useful. I believe an opposition party needs someone with a different set of skills and temperament and more experience in politics than me,” wrote Otilia Drăguțanu.

Otilia Drăguțanu entered Parliament on PDM’s national ticket. She is the wife of the former National Bank governor Dorin Drăguțanu.

On Wednesday, non-inscript Viorel Melnic, elected in the South Transnistria constituency, announced his departure, too.

Earlier, for reasons of dual office holding incompatibilities, Prime Minister Maia Sandu, Interior Minister Andrei Năstase, and Education Minister Liliana Nicolaescu-Onofrei gave up their seats in the legislature, which is currently down to 96 MPs. 



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. During this period, the second layer, the wear layer, is being applied, which serves to protect the road surface and extend its service life.

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.
