Former President Igor Dodon is slated to provide testimony in the high-profile 'bag case,' marking a significant step in the country's ongoing anti-corruption investigations. This development comes as a prominent independent news outlet, Agora, announced a strategic shift to exclusively publish content on social media platforms starting in May.
Concerns over national security persist with new reports of drone-like objects and explosions in the Orhei and Calarasi districts, prompting police investigations. Meanwhile, Energy Minister Dorin Jungietu rejected a proposal from Moldovagaz to utilize reserve gas for tariff reductions, stating that price increases do not constitute an emergency. Prime Minister Vasile Tofan engaged with mayors from Gagauzia and participated in an ethnocultural festival in Taraclia.
Internationally, Moldovan media is closely watching developments in the Ukraine war, including massive drone and missile attacks causing power outages in Odesa, and Russia's reports of unprecedented drone attacks on its territory, with Moscow accusing Ukraine of election interference.
