Doctor detained for violating secret ballot in Comrat

The doctor who acknowledged the violation of the secret ballot in a nursing home in Comrat has been detained by the police. Based on the gathered evidence, it has been established that the doctor accepted corrupt financial inducements to misuse his position for this purpose.

According to the Moldovan General Inspectorate of Police, during the searches conducted at the medical employee's premises, conclusive evidence was seized, including documents of his corrupt actions and transfers obtained by the doctor through the PSB system—Promsvyazbank—linked to the criminal organisation Șor. These actions facilitated violations in the electoral process by leveraging his administrative position.

The detained individual owns several properties, which are subject to seizure to determine their origin. If the medical employee's guilt is established, he faces up to five years in prison.

The General Inspectorate of Police has announced the initiation of a criminal case following an alert from the “Promo-LEX” Association regarding a potential violation of the secret ballot involving 25 voters residing in the nursing home in Comrat during the electoral process on October 20. The Promo-LEX Association has called on state institutions to take action in this matter.

Families with children with severe disabilities will get financial assistance

Children with severe disabilities in our country will benefit from a new support package developed with the help of the development partners of the Republic of Moldova. According to the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, over 5,500 families will benefit from this program, each of whom will receive a one-off allowance of 3,000 lei. The measure comes as essential support for these families, underlining the authorities' commitment to improving the living conditions of people with disabilities. However, for some families this amount is not enough to cover the costs of caring for children with disabilities.

Czech Ambassador: The future of the Republic of Moldova depends on the choice and responsibility of the citizens

The results of the constitutional republican referendum on October 20 will not have a major impact on the development of the Republic of Moldova, but the inclusion of certain chapters in the Constitution is a positive step for the European path of the Republic of Moldova. Statements to this effect were made by the Czech ambassador to the Republic of Moldova, Jaromír Plíšek, in the show "Diplomatic Dimension" on Moldova 1 TV. However, the diplomat believes that the constant direction towards the European Union will largely depend on the dedication and capacity of the future managements to support this path.
