MPI Magnesium plans to establish a fund for Rășinari's development, promising €500,000 annually starting in 2027, increasing to €1 million after mining begins. This proposal comes amid local opposition to the magnesium extraction project and a referendum scheduled for November 8. The company aims to support the community financially, but no formal agreement has been presented yet. The director mentioned potential job creation, with 25 direct and up to 100 indirect positions. Meanwhile, Rășinari's local government has requested the withdrawal of a government project related to the mining site, seeking public consultation and clarity on the project's implications.
