Mai puține primării, mai puține instituții ale statului. Planul Guvernului Niculescu pentru reorganizarea administrației
The proposed government led by Luca Niculescu plans to reorganize public administration, potentially reducing the number of local councils and merging state institutions. The governance program for 2026-2028 includes voluntary consolidation of small municipalities and the unification of ANAF with the Romanian Customs Authority. This initiative aims to eliminate overlapping responsibilities and reduce bureaucracy. Localities with fewer than 1,500 residents may receive funding incentives for voluntary mergers. Additionally, a new fiscal authority will be established by merging ANAF and the Customs Authority, with a performance-based bonus system starting in 2027. The program also emphasizes digitalization of public services to minimize in-person visits to administrative offices.
