Hubert Thuma, president of Ilfov County Council, publicly criticised Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan over the handling of funds earmarked for local administration. Thuma demanded clarity on how state budget transfers to communities are managed and urged the government to continue investments already underway. He also expressed concern about the distribution of income‑tax revenue, arguing that Ilfov bears the cost of metropolitan services while a substantial portion of taxes from Ilfov residents who work in Bucharest is redirected to the capital. The council leader warned that the lack of local autonomy and perceived fiscal imbalance could undermine the county’s ability to deliver public services.
