Bucharest general mayor Ciprian Ciucu announces major restructuring, 700 positions to be eliminated

Over 700 positions within the City Hall of Bucharest and its subordinate institutions could be eliminated according to a plan put forward by mayor Ciprian Ciucu on Thursday, March 26.

The institution is in dire financial straits. Earlier this month, the mayor said that Bucharest reached an “extremely bad” situation because the former Social Democratic-led Marcel Ciolacu government reduced the sums allocated to the city in the 2024-2025 period by a total of EUR 7.5 billion. In April, the City Hall will have to pay back RON 150 million in dues for past loans.
