Vlad Gheorghe supports a referendum for the assimilation of Ilfov into Bucharest and proposes a centralized system for construction authorization to eliminate chaos.

The honorary advisor to Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan, Vlad Gheorghe, proposed a referendum in Ilfov County on the topic of its assimilation into Bucharest, arguing that a unified administration would bring metropolitan benefits. He claims that building permits are issued chaotically and proposes a centralized electronic system for their coordination. Gheorghe believes that the abolition of the Ilfov County Council would generate significant savings that could be used for infrastructure.

In response, Hubert Thuma, the president of Ilfov County Council, criticized the mayor of Bucharest, Ciprian Ciucu, for the way he manages the relationship with Ilfov, threatening to suspend building permits. Thuma emphasizes that such a measure would severely affect the economic development and infrastructure of the Capital. The dispute between the two highlights the need for effective collaboration between Bucharest and Ilfov to avoid administrative and development blockages.
