Chisinau Budget in Jeopardy: PAS Councilors Issue Ultimatum

Chisinau Budget Dispute: PAS Councilors Set Conditions for Approval Chisinau, Moldova – A heated debate is unfolding in Chisinau over the city's budget. PAS councilors held a press conference on May 28th, outlining their concerns and conditions for approving the draft budget. A key sticking point is the rejection of amendments proposed by the PAS faction. "The reason for our abstention is the rejection of our amendments," stated Dumitru Ivanov, vice-president of the PAS faction. This statement was countered by Mayor Ion Ceban, who maintains that the proposals are largely included in the current draft. Meanwhile, PSRM councilors described the situation within City Hall as highly politicized. The video shows councilors from both sides expressing their views, and the footage from the council meeting shows the tension surrounding the budget's approval. The situation is further complicated by claims of politicization within the municipal government. The ongoing debate highlights the challenges of navigating budget decisions in a politically charged environment. Further developments are expected.
