Employees of the Brașov Opera will receive 6 million lei from the local budget as compensation for court-awarded bonuses. This follows a previous payment of 5 million lei in July. However, they are required to repay 12 million lei due to overpayments based on incorrect salary scales. An audit revealed that employees were paid according to a national institution's scale instead of the appropriate local one. The mayor emphasized the need for accountability regarding these financial discrepancies, which stem from past management decisions. Employee protests over salary reductions and contract issues have also highlighted ongoing tensions within the institution.
