The Minister of Development, Cseke Attila, would like the administration reform to be adopted through the Government's assumption of responsibility. Nearly 13,000 occupied positions in local administration are being reduced.

Minister Cseke Attila announced measures to increase efficiency in local public administration, which will generate savings of 1.7 billion lei. A reduction of 13,000 occupied positions is expected, equivalent to 10% of the total, with a transitional measure applicable in 2026, allowing either the reduction of positions or a 10% decrease in personnel expenses. In 2027, actual cuts in positions will be imposed.

For local authorities, a reduction percentage of 30% will be applied, but with a limitation of 20% for occupied positions, so that authorities with efficient mayors are not significantly affected. Additionally, a 10% reduction in personnel expenses will be applied in central public administration, with flexibility for main credit managers. Exceptions to these measures will be for nurseries, pre-university education, and hospitals.
