Weekly Updates #13 - Thank you, Alexei Navalny!
The week when Alexei Navalny was killed by the Kremlin.
The weekend started on a very sad note. Alexei Navalny, the number one critic of Putin was killed in the” Polar Wolf” prison, in Russia. Nothing is more dangerous for a dictator than people’s freedom to think. Thank you, Alexei!
Approved.
The 303 law changes were approved. This is the basis for the water and sanitation system in Moldova. We will have a better legal framework for providing people with water and sanitation services. The main provisions of the project are:
✅ The National Agency for Energy Regulation - ANRE Republic of Moldova will be responsible for the control of unlicensed operators and the agency will also create and manage an automated information system to monitor the activity of all operators in the sector.
✅ LPAs will be able to set a development quota in the service tariff structure, which will be used for the modernization of infrastructure related to the public water supply and sewerage service.
✅ We will have a clear mechanism for the authorization, construction, registration, control, operation, and maintenance of individual wastewater collection and treatment systems in rural areas.
Visited.
Ialoveni, the center of Moldova, where an agreement space is being built for the 16,800 people living in the city, but also for other 11,000 residents of the neighboring villages: Costești, Hansca, Mileștii Mici, Molești, and Sociteni. The urban revitalization project includes a Green Theatre, pedestrian walkways, and a sports field. The park has also been designed for small local producers, craftsmen, artisans, and economic agents, such as the rustic-style spaces for street trade.
Horești, where thanks to the National European Village Programme, the House of Culture has a new roof, benefiting over 3500 inhabitants of the village. Under the roof of the building work also the employees of the town hall, the councillors, the librarians, and the employees of the post office. Sports and extracurricular activities are also held at the House of Culture.
Regional Development.
The citizens of 10 towns in the center of the country will enjoy the town planning projects implemented by the Regional Development Agency Center. I went to Ialoveni on Thursday and discussed it with colleagues from the Agency. They told me how important it is to provide people with clean, efficient spaces where they can spend their time and how important these projects are for the economic development of the region. 9/10 contracts for urban revitalization and mobility have already been signed, and the tenth will be signed next week. This is a great step ahead of transforming our cities into better places to live.
The picture of the week.
