Romanian social-democrats propose that the state covers all costs for changing identity documents due to territorial reorganization. Europarliament member Dragoș Benea clarified that village names will remain unchanged, while some communes may be renamed or merged. The plan includes a transition period allowing residents to replace documents without personal expenses. The PSD evaluates administrative units based on six criteria, including population, economic situation, and access to services. Over 1,500 communes and towns in Romania do not meet legal criteria, with many having fewer than 1,500 residents.
