🗺️ Redrawn

Alexei Buzu, the government's secretary general, has presented a proposal for a new administrative-territorial map. The move aims to redesign the way the republic is organised as ministers continue to push for local government reform. Brussels has invited the government to present its negotiation positions for accession Clusters 2 and 3, a procedural step that keeps the integration timeline moving. At home, five more people have been sent to trial in the 'Car Vertical' case involving the distribution of intimate photos on Telegram; one suspect allegedly purchased a BMW X5 with the proceeds. Another unauthorized object was detected in the airspace over the Transnistrian region. Parliament scheduled a closed-door session, requiring deputies to surrender their phones, to review a classified document concerning the National Army.
