The government will ask parliament to extend for another 60 days, starting from October 7, the state of emergency throughout the country.
This decision was approved by the Cabinet of Ministers on the basis of the decision of the Commission for Emergency Situations. The need to extend the state of emergency is determined by the ongoing risks and threats to national security, as well as to providing Moldova with energy resources during the cold season. The situation in the region due to the war in Ukraine continues to create vulnerabilities for the security of the state border of Moldova. Among the main threats that our country may face in the near future, the government calls the restriction or even cessation of energy supplies and rising prices for them, the escalation of the situation in the war-torn territories and their approach to the borders of Moldova, the use of nuclear weapons with regional and global consequences, an increase in the flow of refugees from Ukraine, as well as the consequences caused by the partial mobilization announced in Russia. The state of emergency will allow the Commission for Emergency Situations to continue to quickly take measures to overcome crises. Recall, on February 24, the Moldovan Parliament introduced a state of emergency for 60 days due to the situation in Ukraine and threats to the security of Moldova, and subsequently extended it several times: from April 25, the state of emergency in Moldova was extended for 60 days, from June 24 - for 45 days, and from August 8 - for another 60 days.// 05.10.2022 — InfoMarket
