Boc cere Loteriei să scoată păcănelele din agenţiile loto din Cluj-Napoca. "Statul trebuie să fie primul care dă exemplul, nu ultimul"

The mayor of Cluj-Napoca, Emil Boc, has urged the Romanian Lottery to remove slot machines from its agencies following a local council decision banning gambling in physical spaces. He emphasized the need for state-owned companies to lead by example in promoting social responsibility. Boc expressed concerns about the risks of gambling addiction and its impact on vulnerable families and youth. He called for a focus on education and creativity rather than gambling opportunities. The government has empowered local authorities to regulate gambling activities, allowing them to approve or prohibit such operations in their jurisdictions.
