The Ministry of Development, led by Cseke Attila, is analyzing the ranking of localities in Romania based on data from the latest census and the legal criteria from the National Territory Planning. This evaluation could have significant implications, including the reduction of positions and salaries in local administrations that do not meet the legal population thresholds. The minister emphasized that nearly half of the country's municipalities and a large part of the cities do not meet these criteria. Of the 103 municipalities, 57 no longer have 40,000 inhabitants, and of the 216 cities, 146 are below the threshold of 10,000 inhabitants, suggesting the need for a reclassification.
