Dear Mr. Smith, we spotted that our EU-funded project (implemented by the Czech NGO People in Need) and the support provided through it to vulnerable households in the context of energy crisis draw your attention in this Weekly Roundup, so we wanted to check whether you would be interested to attend an event with English as working language where we will present the study on indebtedness, carried out in the framework of the same project. I don't know other ways of contacting you, this is why I am leaving a comment here. If you would be interested and would be available to attend this event, please let us know at info.moldova@peopleinneed.net so we could send you an official invitation. Thank you for considering this! Natalia, People in Need Moldova

Here's hoping winter isn't too cold in Moldova and the rest of Europe. As for civics classes, I once tried to research the Moldovan government structure online (in English mostly) and got very confused. It was for 7th graders; can't remember whether it was in response to a lesson about the U.K. Parliament in the English textbook or what.

Hi Grace! Yes this is really a problem. It's honestly really hard to figure out in English and I don't know a lot of Moldovan friends who really understand things either - again no civics class.

I wrote an Explainer a while back about this "How does Moldova's Government Work?"

And other (which is a little dated) called "Glossary of Moldovan Politics"

The hope was to help an international audience better grapple with some of the details. It's imperfect but a start :) I'll have to do some updates to these and then maybe new articles in this line when I have time.
