Orașul Voluntari devine municipiu. Proiectul a fost votat de Senat

The Senate has approved a project declaring Voluntari, a city in Ilfov County, as a municipality. The vote resulted in 91 in favor, 14 against, and three abstentions. Critics argue that this designation does not address the city's lack of public services, such as hospitals, and may lead to higher taxes for residents. Supporters, including local senators, emphasize that the decision reflects the will of the people, as a referendum in 2004 indicated a desire for municipal status. They argue that Voluntari is well-developed in various aspects, despite some infrastructural issues. The project had previously been tacitly adopted by the Chamber of Deputies, with the Senate being the final decision-making body.
