The memorandum of understanding signed by the councilors and sector mayors said “the draft law on Bucharest which called for the referendum no longer matches the city’s current development requirements and is therefore out of date.”

The councilors have decided to hold a series of debates, in order to find the best solutions for the Capital’s administrative reorganization.

Mayor Sorin Oprescu said the money earmarked for this poll will be used in a future referendum.
