USR leader, Cătălin Drulă, contests the closure of schools, considering it an exaggerated reaction, without a solid scientific basis.

Cătălin Drulă, the leader of USR, stated that there is no real reason for closing schools, relying on weather forecast data that indicated an ordinary rainy autumn day in Bucharest. He believes that this decision was an overreaction, influenced by the political sensitivity of the deputy mayor. Drulă emphasizes the importance of making decisions based on science and warns that such actions can diminish public trust in future warnings.
