Former Sector 1 mayor George Pădure proposes a comprehensive reform for local public administration, including mandatory training for mayors and county council presidents. The plan suggests voluntary merging of small communes, restructuring Romania into eight regions, and establishing a National Territorial Balance Fund with an annual budget of approximately 880 million lei to support underdeveloped areas. Pădure emphasizes the importance of training in public administration management, finance, and ethics for effective community governance. Additionally, he advocates for a metropolitan structure for Bucharest and Ilfov, and the development of cultural and sports centers to boost tourism. He believes these reforms should be implemented as part of a broader strategy for economic development and improved public services.
