The coalition leaders agreed on a 10% reduction in employees from local and central public administration, but the final details remain to be established, according to the spokesperson of USR, Cristian Seidler.

The coalition leaders have reached a principle agreement regarding the reduction of expenses in public administration, announced by the spokesperson of USR, Cristian Seidler. A 10% decrease in the number of employees in local public administration is expected, and a similar reduction in personnel expenses will apply to central administration.

Although a 30% reduction in positions was discussed, the agreement is not fixed on a number, but on a percentage, taking into account the inequalities between municipalities. Seidler emphasizes that a real reform of the administration is necessary, which could include the merging of small localities. Additionally, there is discussion about the abolition of certain central institutions deemed unnecessary. The national average could lead to a 10% reduction in personnel expenses in the budget for the year 2026.
