Europarliament member Gheorghe Piperea warns about significant increases in property taxes in Romania, with some cases seeing hikes of up to 500%. He cites examples from Craiova and Timișoara, where residents face exorbitant local tax increases due to properties being labeled as 'neglected'. Piperea encourages affected citizens to contest these tax hikes in court, arguing they infringe on property rights. He highlights the risks for homeowners, especially those living abroad or dealing with squatters, as they may face penalties and forced execution for unpaid taxes.
