Hostages of the Market or Strategic Planning Mistakes?

Social and political tensions are once again running high in Moldova’s energy sector. Increases in gas and electricity rates are inevitable. And this is happening ahead of the fall and winter period of increased energy consumption, which will also affect utility bills. The authorities never tire of repeating that they are not to blame—the situation on the markets is beyond their control.

Moldovan authorities are urging people to conserve water. Does this call apply to water users in Transnistria?

At the end of the workweek, Environment Minister Gheorghe Hazder reported a record-low water inflow from the Carpathians into the Dniester Reservoir—14 cubic meters per second. This negative trend directly affects water flow in the lower Dniester. In light of this, the minister once again urged all consumers to use water responsibly. According to some experts, the problem lies in the fact that water from the Dniester is used by residents on both the right and left banks of the river. And there appears to be no coordination of this process between the authorities on the right and left banks of Moldova.

Poland is arguing over a new minimum wage. The price of the question?

Polish authorities continue to negotiate with trade unions and patronages on a new minimum wage. The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Protection has submitted a report according to which the minimum will be 4,927 zloty (1,161 euros) from the beginning of 2027. This is significantly higher than the previously discussed amount. And it is important, as the “minimum wage” affects social benefits.
