In Romania, mayors squander public funds on absurd projects such as bicycle paths in fields with no links between localities. Although the money comes from the PNRR or the Environment Fund, the investments do not benefit the communities, and local residents face a lack of basic infrastructure such as drinking water and sewage. Criticism is directed at mayors who prioritize unnecessary spending at the expense of citizens' real needs.
