Local mayors accuse the government of collecting all money from local taxes
Interior minister Cristian David says that mayors need to set up a strategy to attract European funds in order to accommodate their financial needs. He points towards European programs like the Regional Operational Program which offers important financial support.
Mayors in various cities are dissatisfied with the fact that several important local taxes are collected by the central administration. They argue that at least the VAT tax should be part of local budgets so that City Halls could take a significant stand locally.
