Moldovan Councilor Exposes City's Neglect: Mayor Summoned to Court?

Industrial Street's Decay: Councilor Accuses Chisinau Mayor of Neglect Chisinau, Moldova – A heated public dispute has erupted between Ion Melnic, a municipal councilor, and Mayor Ivan Ceban regarding the state of Industrial Street. Melnic released a video showcasing the street's severe disrepair, filled with potholes and lacking basic infrastructure. He directly accuses Ceban of mismanaging city funds, prioritizing events over essential infrastructure improvements. "The street has received not a single leu," Melnic states in the video, pointing to the crumbling road. He supports his claims by displaying a document, which he claims is a pre-trial request from Ceban to have him summoned to court. The video also shows a contrast between the neglected street and the well-funded Youth Fest, held in the city. The video has sparked debate among Chisinau residents, highlighting concerns about transparency and the allocation of municipal funds. While Mayor Ceban has yet to respond directly to Melnic's accusations, the incident raises questions about the city's priorities and the conditions faced by businesses and residents in certain areas.
