Aproape 900 de copaci dispar în ceea ce primăria unui mare oraș din România numește „modernizarea falezei” – „Avem temperaturi de 40 de grade Celsius”

The modernization project of the Danube promenade in Galați involves cutting down nearly 900 trees, sparking public outcry and petitions for preservation. Mayor Ionuț Pucheanu defends the project, citing safety and aesthetic improvements, while critics argue it harms the urban ecosystem. The initiative has gathered significant public support, with calls for a revision of the plans to protect healthy trees. The mayor claims the project has followed legal procedures, but many residents feel uninformed about the extent of the changes.
