The administrative-territorial reform involves merging localities, but challenges arise in practice. Bogdan Șchiop, president of the National Federation of Unions in Administration, highlighted the confusion between municipal employees and personal assistants for disabled individuals. He emphasized the importance of accurate evaluations to avoid negatively impacting vulnerable populations. While unions do not oppose public administration reform, they demand thorough analysis. Concerns were raised that reforms seem to favor political interests over citizens'. Dan Iliescu, vice president of the federation, criticized the lack of accountability and the increase in political positions despite promises to reduce them. The reform should prioritize citizens' needs, not political agendas.
