🧼 Hygiene

Moldova is currently under a yellow code warning for strong winds, with gusts expected to reach up to 18 m/s in the northern and central regions today. This weather alert highlights immediate concerns for public safety across affected areas. In policy news, a government official, Prime Minister Vasile Tofan, confirmed that the reduced VAT rate on hygiene products will remain in effect. This decision comes after the Ministry of Finance reportedly reconsidered a previous initiative to increase the VAT following public criticism. Meanwhile, independent news outlet Agora announced a significant strategic pivot, transitioning to an exclusively social media-based publishing model after 12 years of independent journalism. Further domestic developments include reports of fatal road accidents, with one incident on the Chisinau-Cahul highway claiming a life and another involving a man from Gagauzia. On the international stage, Moldova abstained from a UN vote on a new world map initiative, a move that reflects the country's nuanced foreign policy stance.
