We have contracts with European funds of over three billion. We started extremely necessary infrastructure projects: the belts from Comarnic, Azuga – Buşteni, Mizil, Păuleşti, Câmpina. We have modernized the County Hospital and today we have the most modern operating block in Romania. We have started works to expand the sewerage and water supply network in 42 localities of Prahova county, worth almost one billion. of euros. We managed to build the gas network in the towns of Valea Slănicului and the connection to the gas main. We equip the schools in 59 towns with the latest digital equipment, furniture, teaching materials and specialized equipment. They are concrete, punctual and measurable things.

The goal was to force the mayors to join the PSD, which has held Prahova for 30 years. If there had not been these mafia-type attacks on the county mayors, I probably wouldn’t even be a candidate. But I have the obligation to be in solidarity with the mayors and I guarantee them that the projects started in Prahova will be completed. I, the mayors, the local councilors, the PNL candidates will do everything possible so that the Cosma clan mafia does not they return to the decision buttons”, Dumitrescu also declared, according to the quoted press release.
