A significant administrative reform is being prepared by PSD, potentially reducing Romania to 15 counties. The reform will be based on six evaluation criteria, including population, economic sustainability, and access to public services. Dragoș Benea, the project coordinator, emphasized the need for a matrix of administrative sustainability to assess the capacity of local administrative units. The reform may involve merging several counties and redefining territorial boundaries. Additionally, the reform aims to reorganize communes based on population thresholds, with potential impacts on around 2,500 communes if set at 5,000 residents.
