Rareș Bogdan, atac la Bolojan pe legea incompatibilității
Europarliament member Rareș Bogdan criticizes the new Law 165/2026, which forces local councilors in Romania to choose between their elected positions and public employment. He claims this law, attributed to Ilie Bolojan, will lead to mass resignations among elected officials, allowing party leaders to appoint new councilors. The law modifies the administrative code, creating incompatibilities for those holding dual roles. Teachers and researchers are exempt from this rule, but others must suspend their employment contracts. A notification must be submitted by August 25, 2026, to avoid disciplinary actions.
