Moldova faces a deepening energy and water crisis, with critically low water levels in the Danube and Dniester rivers threatening both regional power supply and Chisinau's water infrastructure. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan has expressed serious concerns about the country's ability to guarantee emergency electricity, warning of a critical situation and suggesting that potential outages might encourage a more economical society.
In political developments, the ruling Party of Action and Solidarity (PAS) faction has gained two new deputies in Parliament, Roman Roșca and Victor Mătrăgună, whose mandates were recently validated. Concurrently, a new fiscal policy is set to impose heavier taxes on bank profits, a change that Prime Minister Tofan anticipates will be welcomed by the public.
