Moldovan opposition demands teacher pay hikes amid regional diplomatic efforts
Moldova's opposition PSRM requests a 30% salary raise for educators, while Chișinău reports hosting over 60% of the nation's Ukrainian refugees.
Moldova’s opposition Party of Socialists (PSRM) has called on the parliamentary majority to fund a 30% salary increase for teachers starting in October, alongside a 1,000-lei subsidy for families with middle-school pupils. Government officials maintained that salary adjustments depend on available fiscal resources.
In Chișinău, municipal authorities reported that over 60% of Ukrainian refugees in Moldova have settled in the capital, with more than 1,800 children enrolled in local schools and over 500 attending preschools.
The developments coincide with Prime Minister Vasile Tofan’s upcoming visit to Bucharest on July 30 for talks on economic ties and European integration. Meanwhile, defense lawyers for Gagauzia Governor Evghenia Guțul filed a final appeal with the Supreme Court of Justice against her seven-year sentence, and Romania's opposition AUR party reiterated calls for snap elections after 84 days without a government.
