The national investment program „Anghel Saligny”, posted on the website of the Ministry of Development
Almost 30% of Romania’s localities are not connected to a water supply network, more than half have no sewerage, and almost three quarters do not benefit from the supply of natural gas. These are the figures from which the draft of a Government Emergency Ordinance starts, through which it is desired to allocate 50 billion lei in the next 6 years for infrastructure projects at local level. They also aim to improve the road infrastructure, given that less than half of the county roads are currently modernized. The data were presented by the Minister of Development, Attila Cseke, after yesterday’s meeting of the Executive, in which the national investment program „Anghel Saligny” was discussed – in the first reading. The document is for public debate, posted on the website of the Ministry of Development, and for ten days people can send proposals, suggestions or recommendations regarding the project./opopescu
