The simple motion tabled by the Bloc of Communists and Socialists against the policies of the Ministry of Infrastructure and Regional Development, headed by Vladimir Bolea, failed. It was considered at today’s sitting of Parliament and after several hours of debate, it was supported by only 18 MPs.

“Today we are not talking about a motion, but we are talking about the direction Moldova has chosen and what this Parliament really wants – to build or return to stagnation,” said Deputy Prime Minister Vladimir Bolea, Minister of Infrastructure and Regional Development.

According to the minister, in the last two years, through the national program European Village, and through foreign investments attracted by MIDR, investment projects have been carried out, the results of which can be seen in every corner of the country.

“Today’s motion is an exercise in rhetoric, not accountability. It is a string of baseless accusations, an attempt to destabilize and not to build,” said Vladimir Bolea.

The opposition reiterated the arguments formulated in the motion, criticizing the situation at the Moldovan Railways and the salary arrears to employees, as well as the intention to merge Marculesti Airport with Chisinau International Airport. The lack of transparency and vision for development was also cited.

The BCS faction tabled other simple motions earlier. None passed.

A 22-year-old young man from the capital has been detained, suspected of distributing drugs online as part of an organized criminal group. Following the searches, law enforcement officers seized narcotics worth over one million lei, reports IPN.

According to the General Inspectorate of Police, drugs were found at the suspect’s residence, preliminarily hashish and cocaine, as well as high-precision electronic scales and objects used for portioning and packaging substances.

At the same time, the police identified several hideouts arranged by this person, from where they seized packages of narcotic substances. These were to be picked up by other members of the group and distributed to consumers.

If found guilty, the young man risks a prison sentence ranging from 7 to 15 years. Investigations continue to establish all circumstances and identify the individuals involved.

Taxpayers have until July 27 to declare and pay local taxes

by Anatol Cibotari 21.07.2026

Companies and other taxpayers who pay local taxes have until July 27 to submit their tax reports for the first six months of the year and to pay the amounts owed. The State Fiscal Service warns that exceeding the deadline may result in penalties and late payment increases, reports IPN.

By this date, the Local Tax Report, form TL13, must be submitted, through which taxpayers declare the taxes calculated for the activity carried out. These taxes are set by local authorities and can target areas such as land development, commercial units, markets, parking lots or outdoor advertising.

By July 27, the Report on the Natural Resources Taxes, form TRN21, must also be submitted. The document is mandatory for taxpayers who use resources such as water, sand, gravel, or other resources provided by legislation, and indicates the volumes used and the taxes due.

The State Tax Service recommends taxpayers to submit documents and pay taxes in a timely manner, to avoid potential technical issues or delays. Non-compliance with tax deadlines can lead to the application of fines and late payment surcharges.
