The Romanian Minister of Transport announced layoffs for around 1,500 employees of CFR Marfă, which has lost its operating license. The state must allocate approximately 11 million euros for unpaid salaries and severance payments. Discussions are ongoing with government officials to find a payment solution. Many employees are either on technical unemployment or nearing retirement. The minister criticized the previous administration for failing to initiate bankruptcy proceedings, risking infringement procedures from the European Commission. Meanwhile, operator Carpatica is seeking to hire CFR Marfă employees to address staffing shortages.
