At the same time, the mayor presented the priorities for the next years in office. Among them, there are: “finishing the reconstruction of streets and boulevards, presently under repair, implementation of the project “agenda 21 for Chisinau,” in order to improve the citizens’ quality of life and attain the European standards in all fields, modernization of the public transport, thermal insulation of buildings (kindergartens, schools, hospitals, municipal institutions), arranging special tracks for bicyclists, implementing a waste management at the level of European standards, modernization of the water purifying station, etc.” 

While the mayor was giving his speech, more people shouted slogans: “You killed the city,” “Shame,” “Chirtoaca to prison” and demanded his resignation. In retort,  Chirtoaca invited the protesters to join the central rostrum, in order “to have a democratic discussion, without incidents and in a more peaceful atmosphere, thus setting forth their wishes and discontents.”  

Dorin Chirtoaca holds his third mandate of Chisinau mayor. He was reelected to office on 28 June 2015.
