Romania's PSD plans an administrative reform that could lead to the dissolution of hundreds of local councils, particularly affecting small municipalities with populations under 1,500. The proposal, which aims to consolidate these localities, has sparked debate among political parties. While some support the initiative for efficiency, others, including UDMR, criticize it as undemocratic, emphasizing the need for community consent. The reform is set to be discussed in Parliament, with a push for government accountability by March 2027. The exact criteria for the reform are still under development, and reactions from various political factions highlight the complexities involved in such a significant change.
