The PNL and USR-PLUS candidate for the Capital City Hall chair, Nicușor Dan, declared on Monday in an interview at RFI that he will dissolve most of the municipal companies established during Gabriela Firea’s mandate. Exceptions will be made by companies that manage district heating and public lighting.

“They will be abolished, but this answer has some nuances. For example, Termoenergetica took over the function of the former RADET and then Termoenergetica must remain, obviously to be restructured, functionalized. Street lighting as well. Many of the others must be abolished and people taken back to the administrations from which they actually came. For example, we have the ALPAB, which deals with green spaces and parks and it has three municipal companies: one for trees, one for parks and one for leisure. All these people need to be taken back to ALPAB and then the ALPAB needs to be restructured. In this way, at least we earn, we no longer pay the consistent salaries of the directors and of the Boards of Directors of these companies “, he said.

“There are things that can be done in a mandate, there are things that cannot be done in a mandate. For example, you can’t shift the entire public transport fleet to electricity in one mandate, but you can take important steps in that direction.… Solving the problem of district heating is not done in one mandate, but you can change 300-400 kilometers in a mandate and starting with the places that the specialists know are the most vulnerable to damage, so you can considerably improve the quality of the district heating service,” added Nicușor Dan.
