The Presidency of the Republic of Moldova rejects the accusations that official documents of the institution were found at a landfill. The reaction comes after the appearance in the public space of video images accompanied by an anonymous statement attributed to a group of representatives of the Environmental Protection Inspectorate, reports IPN.

The presidential institution clarifies that the images distributed feature an envelope pertaining to official correspondence from the year 2018, and not documents from the archive or internal circuit of the Presidency.

According to the Presidential Office, the envelope visibly bears the entry and exit stamps of the post office, which would demonstrate that it has gone through the dispatch procedure and was received by the recipient.

The Presidency mentions that, after the correspondence has been sent to the recipient, the responsibility for keeping or deleting it falls on the person or institution that holds it.

Investments of 386 thousand dollars for the 12 business incubators in Moldova

by Iana Josu 17.07.2026

The 12 business incubators in the Republic of Moldova will benefit from investments totaling 386 thousand dollars, provided through a project supported by Sweden, Norway and UNDP. The funds are intended for energy efficiency measures, the use of renewable sources, and the development of institutional capacities, reports IPN.

According to UNDP Moldova, the investments will allow the installation of photovoltaic systems and energy storage equipment, heat pumps and LED lighting. Additionally, insulation work, window and door replacements, as well as the procurement of equipment designed to reduce energy consumption and operational costs are planned.

In addition to infrastructure modernization, the incubators will benefit from an institutional development program. This aims to integrate the principles of gender equality and climate action into the consulting, training, and support services offered to small and medium enterprises. At the same time, informational activities will be organized in communities, including for women working in agriculture.

According to UNDP data, this year, energy audits have been conducted in 10 out of the 12 incubators. The implementation of the recommended measures would require investments of about 1.8 million dollars, but would allow annual savings of approximately 2.8 million lei, reducing energy consumption by over a million kWh and decreasing CO2 emissions.

Business incubators operate in Leova, Cahul, Calarasi, Ceadar-Lunga, Cimislia, Dubasari, Nisporeni, Rezina, Soroca, Stefan Voda, Sangerei and the municipality of Chisinau. They host nearly 300 enterprises and support over a thousand jobs.

“La Strada” calls for the inclusion of digital safety as a distinct priority in the new government program

by Irina Botu 17.07.2026

The International Center “La Strada” requests that the new Government Program include a distinct priority regarding the development of a safe and trustworthy digital ecosystem. The organization argues that digital safety must be treated as a national strategic priority, essential for digital transformation, economic development and the European path of the Republic of Moldova, reports IPN.

The representatives of the organization warn that online fraud, digital violence, sexual exploitation of children online, attacks on personal data, informational manipulation, and the impact of technologies on mental health are generating increasingly higher costs for education, health, justice and social protection systems, and are affecting the population’s trust in digital services.

In this context, “La Strada” requests the inclusion in the government program of a chapter dedicated to the development of a safe and trustworthy digital ecosystem. This would include the implementation of European standards regarding digital services, the protection of children and consumers in the online environment, the prevention and combating of online violence and crime, the accountability of digital platforms, the development of digital skills and the strengthening of reporting and support services for victims.

At the same time, the organization calls for the adoption, within the next 12 months, of a national program on digital safety and welfare, which will coordinate public policies in the field and align the Republic of Moldova with the standards of the European Union.

Another proposal aims at creating a permanent coordination platform among the authorities responsible for digital transformation, education, child protection, public order, justice, health, and electronic communications, and representatives of the academic environment, industry and civil society.

The designated Prime Minister, Vasile Tofan, is currently consulting with the business community, civil society, and political parties in order to form the new Government and to assemble the government program, which he is expected to present on July 21st in front of the parliamentarians to request a vote of confidence.
