Hundreds of villages in Romania are protesting the public administration law promoted by prime minister Ilie Bolojan, which aims to reduce the overhead expenditures in small administrative units, bringing them close to the local revenues. A warning strike is organised on February 10 in over 1,500 communes of Romania, while a delegation of the Association of Communes in Romania (ACoR) will meet PM Bolojan.
The tensions between mayors and the PM are rising days before the supposed legislation of the public administration law in Parliament by a special accelerated procedure that potentially exposes the executive to a no-confidence motion.
