The issue of drug consumption in the Republic of Moldova has reached an alarming level, warns the mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban. According to the mayor, the phenomenon has gotten out of control and risks becoming a national danger if immediate action is not taken, reports IPN.

“We are no longer talking about just a few isolated cases. Consumption and distribution have spread even in the vicinity of educational institutions,” emphasized Ion Ceban on a TV show.

According to the mayor, firm and coordinated actions are necessary. The Chisinau City Hall is ready to get involved, as it has done so far, but draws attention to the fact that the Government, the Police, and the Prosecutor’s Office also need to take responsibility.

“We cannot leave children, young people, families alone in the face of this scourge,” the mayor further stated.

Users from several countries reported connection issues with Facebook on Sunday. The number of reports rapidly increased during the morning, suggesting a possible widespread malfunction, according to the Downdetector platform, quoted by IPN.

According to reports in the international press, users are experiencing difficulties with authentication, loading the news feed, and using some features of the social network. It is not yet clear whether other services of the Meta company are also affected.

In Moldova, there are issues with browser connectivity, but access through the application is possible. Until this time, Meta company has not provided an explanation for the cause of the incident nor a timeline for its resolution. In the absence of an official confirmation, the exact extent of the disruption remains unclear.

The Downdetector platform monitors online service interruptions and centralizes user reports and other data regarding their functionality. A sudden increase in notifications usually indicates the existence of a technical problem.
