A 106 million euro solar park has begun operations, marking a substantial investment in the country's renewable energy capacity. Political attention, however, is elsewhere. The European prosecutor has felt the need to explain why investigators searched the office of a former prime ministerial advisor, while the race to lead the anti-corruption bureau continues with the current deputy, Roze, still in the running. The capital is preparing for the repair of the Vansu Bridge, though the city’s plans for a temporary crossing have been met with expert skepticism. Engineers suggest that building a bridge without a data-based justification is a difficult case to make to the public. A doctoral thesis has finally broken a long silence on the children born to local women and foreign soldiers during the Second World War. The study frames the decades of quiet as a form of oppressive memory, a topic that has remained unaddressed through various changes of government.
