Harta României va fi schimbată. Dispar sute de localităţi, după referendum

Romania's map will change as hundreds of small localities with under 1,500 residents may merge. This optional measure, decided by local referendums, aims to improve financial efficiency. In Timiș County, two communes are considering merging to save costs and enhance community investments. While some local leaders support the idea for better funding access, residents express mixed feelings about losing local governance and potential overcrowding in schools. The Development Minister assures that the decision will remain voluntary, emphasizing the importance of citizen choice in this process.
