President Nicușor Dan expressed support for merging small communes but doubts the feasibility of a comprehensive administrative reform before the next local elections. He highlighted the need for a restructuring that reflects today's urban economic realities, contrasting them with the 1968 territorial division. Dan advocates for voluntary or necessary mergers of non-functional communes to improve public service efficiency and reduce costs. He emphasized the importance of involving sociologists and economists in the debate about territorial organization.
