Romania: No Alert State Declared for Illegal Burnings in Sintești; Minister Cites Lack of Decision

Interim Environment Minister Diana Buzoianu stated that a meeting convened by Ilfov Prefect Simona Neculae produced no decision on declaring an alert state due to severe pollution from illegal waste burnings in Sintești. The lack of action suggests political or procedural delays, leaving residents exposed to ongoing environmental hazards. This highlights a governance gap in addressing illegal waste management in Romania.
