🏛️ Judiciary

A major controversy has erupted as the Secretary-General of the Moldovan government initiated an investigation into what was termed an "unacceptable mistake" concerning a recent visit by a Taliban delegation. This incident has prompted a high-level inquiry to determine accountability. In the judicial sector, the Superior Council of Magistracy (SCM) has twice rejected a vetting report, opting to reinstate Judge Veronica Kupcha despite a commission's recommendation for her dismissal. This decision has sparked further debate regarding judicial reform and transparency. The country is also facing pressing environmental and economic concerns, with Moldovan farmers reporting a "new catastrophe" due to severely low Danube River levels impacting agriculture. Concurrently, residents of Chisinau will see higher utility costs as the National Agency for Energy Regulation (ANRE) approved new water tariffs for the capital.
