Several months after the revelations about the inhumane conditions and exploitation of disabled people at the Temporary Placement Center in Badiceni, authorities report that funds have been allocated for repairs, and employees suspected of abuses are being investigated and face sanctions. The topic was discussed at today’s Parliament meeting, reports IPN.

The information was presented in full, after the president of the Communist and Socialist Bloc faction, Vlad Batrincea, repeatedly demanded the establishment of an investigative committee regarding the situation of the center in Badiceni. He also requested the general prosecutor and the minister of labor and social protection to be heard in full session.

“I proposed these hearings two months ago, but so far no one has been held accountable. The public has not been informed about the measures taken. We demand the hearing of the Attorney General and the Minister of Labor and Social Protection, as well as the creation of an investigation committee”, emphasized Vlad Batrincea.

The proposal of the socialist deputy did not garner the necessary number of votes to be accepted.

In this context, Marina Morozova, the Vice President of the Parliamentary Commission for Social Protection, Health and Family, stated that the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has initiated an internal investigation. “Employees suspected of degrading treatment towards beneficiaries will be sanctioned and suspended from their positions. We are talking about 24 people. Measures are being taken to prevent such situations, and the ministry is set to create a national registry of people placed in such centers”, the deputy declared.

Regarding the degrading living conditions, the parliamentarian announced that the ministry has allocated 1.6 million lei for repairs and improvement of the infrastructure of the center in Badiceni.

In March, Grigore Novac, the president of the Commission for Human Rights and Interethnic Relations, noted that, following a visit carried out together with representatives of the People’s Advocate Office, they found precarious conditions in the center. The former director and some employees are accused of exploiting several beneficiaries through labor, including persons with disabilities, over the course of several years.

Meteorologists have issued yellow and orange codes for several sectors of the Dniester and Prut rivers, due to low flow rates. The warning is valid for the period July 22-28 and also targets most of the small rivers in the country, where in some sectors even the red code has been established, reports IPN.

According to the Authority for Meteorology and Environmental Monitoring, the yellow code is established on the Naslavcea-Dubasari sector of the Nistru river, where the flow rate is 35-40% of the multiannual monthly average. On the Dubasari-Tudora sector, the orange code is in effect, with the flow rate estimated at only 25-30% of the usual values for this period.

The yellow code is valid on the Criva-Ungheni sector of the Prut River, where the water flow represents 30-40% of the multiannual monthly average. On the Ungheni-Branza sector, an orange code is instituted, with values of 25-30% of the multiannual monthly average.

The situation is similar on the smaller rivers as well. On Raut and Bac, the yellow code is in effect, as the flow is approximately 35% of the normal values. On Ciulucul Mic and Ichel, the orange code is instituted, because the flows are at a maximum of 30% of the multiannual average.

Also, a red code is in effect for the Vilia, Draghiste, Cubolta, Cainar and Botna rivers, where the flows have dropped to approximately 10% of the multi-annual monthly average values.
