Comuna cu numai 500 locuitori care plătește salarii de 1.000.000 lei. Are un deficit de 3.000.000 de lei • Newsweek România

Gogoșu, a small commune in Dolj with only 500 residents, faces severe financial challenges, with expenses nearly double its income. The commune's annual salary expenses reach 1,000,000 lei, while total revenues are only 2,600,000 lei, leading to a significant deficit of 3,000,000 lei when considering government subsidies. Despite the legal requirement for communes to have at least 1,500 residents, many in Romania fall short of this threshold, resulting in over 90% of communes relying on central government funds to meet their financial obligations. Gogoșu's situation reflects a broader issue affecting nearly 1,000 communes across the country.
