In this context, Prime Minister Alexandru Munteanu urged everyone to be cautious, “use common sense and help each other”.
“We have allowed to start the working day at 9 o’clock, I think it helps, because the situation is very strange: it is frosty at night, and in the morning we wake up with ice, frost, frost. And by the way, it puts a lot of pressure on the energy services. On Sunday, there were temporary power outages for a few hours, which we quickly fixed, but such situations in the future are completely impossible to avoid. So let’s use common sense and help each other,” – Prime Minister said at a meeting of the Cabinet.
Munteanu noted that the government is doing its best to ensure the functioning of the life-support services and urged citizens to be vigilant: “We are trying to do our best, but our resources are limited and we do not know what awaits us in the future. Let’s all be careful, do not leave without necessity, do not walk on the ice.”
He thanked rescuers, road workers, power engineers, police officers, medical personnel and all those who work in difficult conditions.
Prime Minister emphasized that despite the difficult weather conditions, it is necessary to notice the positive sides.
“We are a hard-working people, sensitive to the problems of others, and we will certainly come out of this situation. After all, winter is a beautiful season. Finally, I saw that the children were able to make a snowman, and I believe that we should also see the positive sides of what is happening,” the prime minister added.
The prime minister also emphasized that Moldova is not the only country facing harsh winter conditions. “It is enough to look at the news on the Internet: many states in the region and all over the world are facing natural challenges and their consequences,” he said.
