Chisinau Hospital Renovation Sparks Political Clash

Chisinau Hospital Renovations Fuel Political Dispute A heated debate has erupted in Chisinau over the renovation of three municipal hospitals. Mayor Ion Ceban, during an operational services meeting, criticized the PAS party for taking credit for projects funded by the municipality. PAS representatives countered, asserting that the projects were their initiative. This dispute highlights deeper issues within the city's administration. "The mayor is resorting to these nervous outbursts to cover up the administrative chaos at Chisinau City Hall, which he has transformed into a party headquarters," stated Zinaida Popa, chairwoman of the PAS faction in the Chisinau Municipal Council (CMC). She further emphasized the city's current budget crisis, stating, "We are without a budget for the second consecutive year, halfway through the year, and important works are at a standstill." Mayor Ceban rejected PAS's claims in a press conference, presenting a document showcasing the municipality's role in funding the renovations. The ongoing situation underscores the political tensions and challenges in managing Chisinau's budget and infrastructure projects. The resolution of this dispute remains uncertain, leaving the future of the hospital renovations in question.
