Luca Niculescu and Ciprian Ciucu met to discuss the Government’s support for solving Bucharest’s problems

Prime Minister Luca Niculescu met on Wednesday at Victoria Palace with the general mayor of the Capital, Ciprian Ciucu, to discuss Bucharest’s problems and the measures that the local administration and the Government can take together. The meeting took place at the mayor’s request, who emphasized that Bucharest City Hall cannot solve a number of the city’s major problems on its own.

One of the main topics was reducing pollution. Ciucu requested support so that municipal teams could collaborate with several ministries to identify and eliminate the main sources of pollution. The aim is also to avoid significant sanctions from the European Union if Romania fails to adopt the necessary measures to improve air quality.

The discussions also covered the centralized district heating system, SACET. The mayor asked the prime minister for support in developing it and preventing another bankruptcy of the Termoenergetica Company, following the model of RADET.

The two officials analyzed technical details for approximately an hour and a half. Ciucu said he was confident that important solutions could be adopted for the Capital, considering next year essential for Bucharest. Niculescu stated that the city’s development and the improvement of quality of life would be managed through dialogue and well-founded measures.
