Moldova plants trees: Sandu promotes reforestation

President Maia Sandu participated in a seedling planting event near Negureni, in the Telenești district, on Friday.

At the event, acacia and myrobalan saplings, species adapted to local climatic conditions, were planted, playing a crucial role in soil protection and air quality improvement.

"I thank the foresters for their efforts in expanding forested areas, and the volunteers participating in these planting events. Since the National Reforestation Program's launch, we have reforested over 15,000 hectares in two years. With steady progress, we are cultivating a cleaner, greener Moldova," said Maia Sandu.

The National Reforestation Program was launched in November 2023 by the Ministry of Environment and the Moldsilva Agency, under the auspices of the Presidency. It aims to rehabilitate and establish new forests across 145,000 hectares by 2032.

Cernăuțeanu about Nesterovschi and Lozovan: "I am confident that the law will ensure that we can detain these people"

The law enforcement agencies of the Republic of Moldova cannot intervene to identify and detain the convicted deputies Alexandr Nesterovschi and Irina Lozovan, who are allegedly hiding in the Transnistrian region, since there is no constitutional control on the left bank of the Nistru. The statement was made by the head of the General Police Inspectorate, Viorel Cernăuțeanu, for the Teleradio-Moldova Company. He pointed out that the authorities strictly respect the legal framework and that any action opened in the region would be impossible.
