The Liberal-Democratic Party starts the negotiations based on three imperatives: the European vector, the hastening of the creation of a parliamentary majority, and transparency of the discussions with the future government partners, the party’s deputy head Liliana Palihovich said in a news conference on May 16, IPN reports.

“The PLDM has only one goal in these talks – to form a pro-European coalition. The European integration is our party’s mission because the course to Europe means moving towards a better future. Secondly, the PLDM considers that the future coalition must be formed as soon as possible as the political instability has lasted for too long. Moldova needs political stability,” said Liliana Palihovich.

She also said that the PLDM intends to hold transparent discussions with the other parties so that the people know how this process goes.

Palihovich informed that the leader of the PLDM Vlad Filat already had meetings with the chairman of the Democratic Party Marian Lupu, the leader of the Liberal parliamentary group Ion Hadarca and the unaffiliated MPs and agreed to open discussions so as to form a government coalition.

The PLDM made public a draft political agreement on the formation of a government coalition. Earlier, Vlad Filat said the PLDM will negotiate with the Democrats and Ion Hadarca’s Liberals as well as the independent lawmakers. The Liberals led by Mihai Ghimpu weren’t invited to the talks. The Communists and the Socialist announced that they will not vote for a future Government led by the Liberal-Democrat Iurie Leanca.

UEFA requests clarification on FIFA’s plan to attract private investors for commercial rights

by Irina Botu 29.07.2026

UEFA has expressed reservations about FIFA’s plan to create a commercial company that would manage the commercial rights of major competitions, including the World Cup. The organization believes that the initiative requires more clarity in terms of governance and transparency, reports IPN.

In a press release, UEFA stated that it is analyzing the proposal and that it must be examined by the national federations as well. The European body mentioned that the project raises questions about the management of the new structure and the distribution of financial benefits.

The reaction comes after FIFA announced its intention to establish FIFA Forward Enterprise (FFE), a subsidiary that would manage commercial activities and the organization of major competitions, including the World Cup and the Club World Cup.

FIFA intends to attract approximately 4.2 billion dollars by selling a minority stake of up to 20% to private investors. According to the organization, the funds will be used for the development of football, and FIFA will retain control over governance, competitions, and sporting decisions.

According to the British press, UEFA is expected to discuss the project with its 55 member federations at the end of this week, to establish a common position. Reservations about the initiative have also been expressed by the English Football Federation, CONCACAF, and the Asian Football Confederation, which have called for consultations and a transparent decision-making process.

Major fire on the Greek island of Paros. Several localities have been evacuated

by Bolohan Maxim 29.07.2026

A significant vegetation fire has broken out on the Greek island of Paros, one of the well-known tourist destinations in the Aegean Sea. According to euronews.ro, quoted by IPN, several localities have been evacuated, and firefighters are intervening on multiple fronts to limit the spread of the flames, as the strong wind complicates operations.

The fire broke out on Tuesday near the town of Kambi, in an area with low vegetation and waste. The Civil Protection Service of Greece has issued alerts through the 112 system for the residents of Agios Charalambos, Kambi, Bougados, Aneratzia, and Kamari, who were urged to move towards the coastal town of Aliki.

The intervention is carried out both on the ground and from the air, with the help of airplanes and helicopters. Additional firefighters and equipment have been brought from the neighboring islands of Naxos and Syros. The authorities have not reported any casualties or material damage, and the cause of the fire is under investigation.

Greece maintains a high level of alert for fires in several regions, due to high temperatures, dry vegetation, and strong winds.

In the meantime, wildfires continue in Spain and France, amidst a new heatwave. In France, 16 departments are under an orange heatwave alert, with temperatures forecasted to reach up to +41 degrees Celsius. In Gironde, authorities warn of the risk of rekindling hotspots due to the dry wind.

In Spain, the fire in Burgohondo, considered the largest in the country’s history, has destroyed over 43 thousand hectares of forest. Although thousands of evacuated people have returned to their localities, authorities warn that the situation remains unstable due to high temperatures.
