Calls for Action Regarding the Former National Hotel

Chișinău Mayor Ion Ceban appealed to the Government’s leadership following the tragic death of a 13-year-old child inside the former National Hotel building.

He called on the authorities to become involved in identifying solutions to ensure children’s safety around both state-owned and privately owned buildings.

Subsequently, the General Police Inspectorate stated that, according to numerous inspections and complaints received, “the abandoned building of the former National Hotel in Chișinău has posed a real danger to people’s lives and safety, particularly minors, for several years.”

The Inspectorate reiterated its call for the responsible authorities to take urgent, coordinated, and lasting measures to eliminate the danger.

Ion Ceban’s Remarks

Ion Ceban, Mayor of Chișinău and leader of the National Alternative Movement (MAN), stated during a meeting of municipal services that although European integration had been widely discussed in the Republic of Moldova in recent years, it was time to move toward concrete actions.

He also claimed that democracy in the Republic of Moldova was fragile, the rule of law existed largely on paper, and human rights were periodically violated.

Andrei Năstase’s Statements

Andrei Năstase, former Minister of Internal Affairs, commented on the death of a minor inside the former National Hotel in central Chișinău.

He stated that the problem was not only structural but also social:

“Abandoned places become attractions for unsupervised children, and in the absence of a firm response, the authorities allow such tragedies to happen again.”

Government’s Proposal

The Government, through Chișinău International Airport, submitted a proposal to acquire the infrastructure used for aviation fuel supply and was conducting negotiations with Lukoil to ensure that the supply of petroleum products would not be disrupted.

Parliament’s Response

Following reports in the public sphere concerning furniture in MPs’ offices, Parliament issued a clarification stating that the Parliamentary Secretariat had not purchased office furniture for MPs in recent years.

The furniture in MPs’ offices had been purchased in 2017, when lawmakers returned to the Parliament building following its renovation after the protests of April 7, 2009.

Mayor’s Response

Chișinău Mayor Ion Ceban responded to statements by the Action and Solidarity Party (PAS), which had called for the depoliticization of City Hall.

He reminded PAS representatives that, in his view, all state institutions were “yellow,” including those that should be independent in a democratic country aspiring to join the European Union.
