Mii de consilieri locali, obligați să aleagă între mandat și jobul la stat. Ce prevede noua lege ? • Newsweek România

A new law in Romania requires local and county councilors working in public institutions to choose between their mandate and their job. This change, effective from August 9, 2026, extends incompatibility rules to contractual staff, potentially leading to a shortage of councilors. Those affected can suspend their employment while serving as councilors. Concerns have been raised about the rapid adoption of this law without sufficient consultation with local administrations, which may struggle to replace resigning councilors.
