Va izbucni un nou scandal al deșeurilor în Ploiești? Firma Brantner, cu care primarul Polițeanu a încheiat un contract controversat în 2024, fără să existe autorizație de mediu, contraatacă. Presiuni și „lupte de culise” pentru obținerea autorizației

In December 2024, Ploiești's Local Council voted to exit the ADI Deșeuri Prahova association. In February 2025, Mayor Mihai-Laurențiu Polițeanu announced a direct waste management contract with Brantner, which faced issues due to lack of environmental authorization. The situation escalated, leading to accusations of a waste mafia. Brantner is attempting to obtain the necessary permits to operate in Ploiești. Meetings involving the mayor and Ministry of Environment officials have raised concerns about potential undue influence for Brantner's authorization. The city has experienced waste collection disruptions, with the previous operator, Bin Go Solutions, resuming services amid ongoing disputes over contract validity and environmental compliance.
