"If we do not address and tackle the issue of reconfiguring the counties, it will be pointless for us to have started. For sure, as long as I coordinate this working group (regarding territorial reform – editor's note), the issue of the counties will also be addressed," said Dragoș Benea for G4Media. #reformateritoriala #județe #politică (translated)

"Over 55% of cities no longer meet the legal threshold of 10,000 inhabitants but have city administration. They are practically communes. It is possible. Right here in my county is the city of Slănic Moldova, which has a small population, bordering the city of Târgu-Ocna. It is possible that a city Târgu-Ocna will result in the end. It would also be natural; I know the area well," explained Dragoș Benea during the conference. #Politic #PSD #ReformaAdministrativa (translated)

"Well, the introduction of a transition period is being considered, during which citizens can change their documents for free, with no personal expenses, the costs will be covered by the state where applicable. The village will not change its name, but the commune will," Benea mentioned. #reformăadministrativă #comasare #localități (translated)

"What I can tell you is that somewhere between 15,000 and 18,000 local elected officials may no longer be councilors, mayors, and deputy mayors starting from 2028. There are operating expenses, maintenance costs that will no longer exist, but there are complicated calculations where we really need to use public databases to provide an as accurate figure as possible," said Monday the MEP Dragoș Benea, who leads the PSD committee for administrative reform. #ReformaAdministrativă #LocalitățiComasate #Alegeri2028 (translated)

"I want to make an important clarification: in the view of this working group, mayors must complete their term by 2028, so there should be no worries on this subject. There are two pressure factors, if I may say so. The electoral year 2028, you know that these changes must be made one year before the election date, and the start of competition for European funds, the multiannual financial framework, where administrative-territorial units must be as well-prepared as possible." #ReformaAdministrativă #PSD #Sustenabilitate (translated)

The MEP Dragoş Benea, nominated by PSD two weeks ago to coordinate a working group on administrative-territorial reform, announced that, following exploratory discussions, six criteria have been identified to support an "administrative sustainability matrix." #ReformaAdministrativă #PSD #Sustenabilitate (translated)

Either the horse breaks, or the harness breaks. Either early elections, or we enter the government with the reins at PSD. MEP Dragoș Benea summarized the alternatives in a blunt formulation: "Either the horse breaks, or the harness breaks. Either early elections, or we enter the government with the reins at PSD." #PSD #LucaNiculescu #guvernare (translated)
