Alexandru Donțu, the mayor of Căușeni, spoke about this during a radio programme. “We have decided that we will not merge with anyone, because we have the required population size,” he explains. “Following consultations with the mayors and councillors of neighbouring localities, a joint decision was reached that they would merge with one another, rather than with the town of Căușeni.”
The mayor notes that Căușeni is currently developing its infrastructure in stages through projects planned for the next 5–10 years. As in any settlement, no matter how large it is or how big its budget, funds are always in short supply. This motivates the local authorities to attract funding from abroad.
“But in Moldova there are problems, both at national and local levels, with engaging young people,” he says. “In Căușeni, we have set up a Youth Centre. More and more young people are following my example and taking an active part in the work of the local administration. We have many young professionals, full of energy, who are valued by the community. They are becoming increasingly involved in the decision-making process.”
