The Romanian President Nicușor Dan has challenged the constitutionality of a law declaring Voluntari a municipality, citing a 2009 referendum that opposed this change. The law is based on a 2004 referendum, which did not consider the later vote. The local development strategy mentions the 2009 referendum, where 78% supported transforming Voluntari into sector 7 of Bucharest. The Economic and Social Council issued a negative opinion, noting Voluntari lacks a public hospital and questioning the relevance of the 2004 referendum. The government also opposes the legislative initiative.
