Mayor Dan Bobouțanu requests support for the declassification of the privatization contract of the steel plant in Hunedoara and for conducting a statutory audit.

The mayor of the municipality of Hunedoara, Dan Bobouțanu, has requested support from the authorities for the declassification of the privatization contract of the steel plant from 2003 and for conducting an audit of its activity until 2025. The request comes in the context of ArcelorMittal's decision to permanently halt production, citing high energy costs and competition from cheap imports. Bobouțanu emphasizes the essential role of the plant in the regional economy and the necessity to verify compliance with the obligations assumed by the contract. Currently, production is suspended, and employees are on technical unemployment.
