Furthermore, according to the Prime Minister, between 2022 and 2025, 115 investment projects for companies in the region have been approved, with the total value of the grants exceeding 40 million lei. Another important project is the expansion of the business incubator in Ceadîr-Lunga, where a production hall covering an area of 5,200 square metres is being built. The project is expected to help create between 500 and 1,000 jobs.

“The Government is keen to engage in open, problem-solving collaboration with those who administer the autonomous region, in your interests – the interests of UTAG’s residents – which is also in our common national interest. I am referring to quality of life, better public services, nurseries, schools and better-equipped health centres, and not to anyone’s interest in keeping us divided in a state of constant mistrust towards one another,” said Tofan.

The Prime Minister emphasised that the Government will continue to support the region’s development and the improvement of living conditions for all citizens, regardless of where they live.

In the run-up to the 15 November elections, the Prime Minister urged the residents of the autonomous region to turn out in as large a number as possible to vote:

“The power to decide who will govern the Gagauz autonomy lies in your vote. Not dirty money, not manipulation and lies, but your vote – honest and resolute. Only fair elections truly represent the will of the citizens – your will.”

It is worth noting that eight people have put themselves forward as candidates for the post of Bashkan, whilst 135 people are standing for election as members of the People’s Assembly.
