Moldova is grappling with new developments in its fight against corruption, as the National Integrity Authority has launched an investigation into the wealth of former PAS deputy Alexandr Trubca. Concurrently, a director from the Agency for Intervention and Payment in Agriculture was detained in an influence peddling case, with a substantial sum of money seized.
On the policy front, the government is set to unveil its concept for a new fiscal reform tomorrow, aiming to restart the economy and streamline public services. In a key institutional appointment, Liliana Vițu has been named the head of the Center for Strategic Communication and Countering Disinformation.
The country also faces a worsening water crisis, with low levels in the Danube River threatening regional power supply and authorities confirming the use of strategic water reserves. Meanwhile, the media landscape continues to evolve, with Agora announcing a shift to an exclusively social media-based publication model.
