Senator Ruxandra Cibu Deaconu urges PSD and Minister Daniel Zamfir to respect the Rășinari referendum results against magnesium mining. She emphasizes the importance of local decisions and legal compliance. The referendum showed 98.43% opposition to mining, yet the minister plans discussions with local authorities. Cibu Deaconu criticizes this approach, likening it to communist tactics, and calls for environmental impact assessments. The mining project, valued at over 400 million euros, still faces uncertainty as local authorities have issued negative responses to the investment.
