💸 Salaries

Finance Minister Victoria Belous confirmed plans to increase parliamentary salaries from 20,800 to 45,900 lei, noting that everyone wants to earn more. Judges in first-instance courts are also due a raise. Over 154,000 households applied for energy compensation on the first day of the new subsidy program. The airspace was breached by at least two drones during strikes on Ukraine, with one crossing from Transnistria to the Soroca district in two minutes. The National Energy Regulatory Agency meanwhile lowered the price of gasoline and diesel, though Premier Energy has already requested a tariff hike to cover the rising cost of electricity. The Supreme Court of Justice accepted a request to involve the Constitutional Court in the "Black Bag" corruption case. Elsewhere, an analysis of Vasile Tofan’s first 100 days compared his methods to Javier Milei’s, while the independent outlet AGORA announced it is abandoning its website to publish exclusively on social media.
