An 11-story building is currently being built next to the graves in Bucharest’s famous Bellu Cemetery, and the project, authorized by the District 4 City Hall in 2023, has sparked controversy in the context of local elections for general mayor.
District 4 City Hall, led by Daniel Băluță, currently a candidate for the position of general mayor backed by the Social Democratic Party, issued the authorization for the new building. Sections of it will extend over the cemetery itself, according to Oficiul de Știri.
