Dragoș Benea, president of PSD Bacău, criticizes those who previously supported administrative reform but now call for its slowdown, accusing them of hypocrisy. He emphasizes that the reform aims to reduce administrative costs and improve public services, potentially eliminating 15,000 to 18,000 local elected positions. Benea insists that no locality will disappear and that the reform process will involve various government ministries and local consultations. He believes the government should implement the reform within a reasonable timeframe, as it has been awaited for over 20 years. Local referendums are not mandatory, but community consultation is essential.
