Cât a costat Ziua Independenței la Chișinău. Buget record
Despite intentions to cut costs, the Moldovan government spent over 9.8 million lei on the 35th Independence Day event. This amount is significantly higher than previous years, raising concerns about budget management. The Ministry of Culture justified the expenses, citing urgent needs and technical requirements, while the event's planning faced criticism for lack of transparency in procurement processes. The government's spending on Independence Day has increased over the years, contradicting earlier promises of budget cuts. Future events are planned to be more modest, with some celebrations being reduced or excluded altogether.
