119 localități declarate oraș în mod ilegal. 432 comune ar trebui desființate. Au prea puțini locuitori • Newsweek România

A report reveals that 119 towns in Romania were illegally declared due to having fewer than 10,000 residents, while 432 communes should be dissolved for similar reasons. Sorin Grindeanu has expressed readiness to implement administrative reform if he becomes prime minister, despite previous unfulfilled promises from past leaders. The data indicates that over 500 localities do not meet legal criteria for town or commune status, with a significant portion of communes struggling financially. The report highlights that smaller localities face greater challenges in development and self-financing.
