Problems of the central Telenesti district today were in the focus of the government, the entire composition of which went to this district. “We have not come for you to praise us; we have come to speak about problems and find solutions. I encourage you to come up with proposals. To my regret, there were situations when mayors fled these meetings, as they are from one political formation or another. Let us put aside the political dimension. We are here as government in order to listen, first of all, to you and urge you to fully take advantage of this opportunity,” Prime Minister Pavel Filip said.  

The Prime Minister also said that the authorities remained focused on the promotion of reforms and projects on Moldova’s modernization. The actions undertaken by the cabinet have already yielded the first results. Thus, last year, for the first time ever, the number of people leaving abroad dropped under 2,000 persons. So far, more than 6,000 people were annually leaving the country. “We cannot close the borders, for people not to leave. All we must do is to create conditions here, at home – this means salaries, quality medical services and developed infrastructure,” the prime minister noted.    

To provide young people with dwellings, the First Home programme is implemented. As many as 559 families have already bought a dwelling under this programme. For us to have teachers in villages, the single allowance for young teachers has been increased from 45,000 lei to 120,000 lei. And to cover the deficit of 200 physicians in villages, the reform of primary medicine was initiated, which provides for the opening of family physicians’ offices. The infrastructure of roads is improved through the carrying out of the Good Roads for Moldova programme. A new wage payment law is to be approved, which will lead to the increase in salaries. All these actions of the government have a single goal – improving the citizens’ living standards.
