The creation of eight big regions in Romania will remove thousands of administrative positions and will shake political parties. The region formed by Bucharest and Ilfov will extend to the Danube and will be lead by a governor, one newspaper reads. A rally in favor of the Romanian counties dominated by the Hungarian minority took place in London. French Interior minister said that Romanian delinquents continue to create problems to French authorities.

Romania libera puts forward four big questions related to Romania’s reorganization that threatens thousands of administrative positions and shakes up political parties. Irrespective of the number of regions chosen, the measure will trigger profound changes affecting even political parties and their influence.

The new counties will have millions of citizens, current county councils will disappear and prefectures will have to be reorganized - these are just a few of the certainties involving the territorial reorganization proposed by the President and sustained by the governing party.

However, the project raises several serious issues like: who is going to lead the future super counties: will there be just a prefect, will there continue to be a county council lead by a president? If the law will pass in the Parliament this year, in 2012 citizens will be called to elect their mayors, county council presidents and counselors just that the counties will differ.

So far, the county structures represented a good source of positions for local leaders of political parties. The question is what will happen if all local departments of the state’s institutions will be reorganized and restructured. The most affected will be all political parties because many of the local tycoons will see their power diminished in the future counties and it will be hard to reach the public money.
