The Local Council of Sector 3 in Bucharest approved a direct contract worth 32 million lei for Christmas decorations without a tender. This agreement spans three years and was awarded to a company linked to the local government. Comparatively, other sectors and the capital spent significantly less on festive lighting in recent years. Specific costs for decorations include 188,100 lei for a Christmas tree and 161,700 lei for a horse-drawn carriage. Concerns were raised about the allocation of funds amidst ongoing infrastructure issues in the sector.
