Ploiești Chief Architect issues legal ultimatum to Mayor

Veronica Rădună, the Chief Architect of Ploiești, has issued an official notification to Mayor Mihai Polițeanu demanding her full reintegration into her position by November 13, 2026. This follows a final court ruling that declared her removal from office in June 2025 illegal.

Rădună is also seeking court-ordered compensation and the rectification of public statements made by the Mayor during a recent broadcast. She contends that the Mayor’s claims regarding her professional integrity and the legality of the court's decision are false.

The conflict stems from a performance evaluation that led to her dismissal, which the Prahova Tribunal later overturned. Rădună has defended her professional record, noting that her appointment in 2022 was via a competitive process and clarifying that she was not involved in the ‘White Tower’ real estate scandal, as the relevant permits were issued two years before she assumed her role.
