Bucharest School Renovation Stalled Amidst Funding and Permit Approval

Bucharest School Renovation Blocked Despite Funding: Mayor Seeks Public Support Bucharest, Romania – The renovation of Gheorghe Şincai National College in Sector 4 is stalled despite the availability of funding and necessary permits. Mayor Daniel Baluta has publicly appealed for help, citing resistance from the school's administration and parents' associations. "We have the money, the project is ready, and we have the building permits," stated Mayor Baluta in a recent video. "Yet, we are not allowed to secure Gheorghe Şincai National College!" The video shows extensive damage to the building, including cracked walls and outdated electrical systems. The mayor's frustration is palpable. He claims that despite the building's clear state of disrepair and the risk to students, those responsible for the school are unwilling to cooperate with the renovation project. This inaction raises questions about accountability and the allocation of public funds. The situation underscores the urgent need for transparent decision-making processes in public works projects. Mayor Baluta's call for public support signals a potential turning point in this ongoing struggle to improve educational infrastructure in Sector 4.
