Moldova declară stare de urgenţă în energie şi apă pentru 60 de zile, pe fondul secetei şi scumpirilor • Newsweek România

Moldova has declared a 60-day state of emergency in energy and water sectors due to severe drought and rising fuel prices. The decision, approved by Parliament, allows authorities to respond swiftly to supply disruptions. The country faces unprecedented drought affecting river levels and water supply, while global fuel prices have surged since the Middle East conflict began. Moldova, a candidate for EU membership, has reduced its reliance on Russian energy and is seeking to support vulnerable households amid rising gas costs. President Maia Sandu emphasized the need for rapid decision-making in response to these challenges.
