Daniel Pop

Daniel Pop is the mayor of Sălsig, a commune in Maramureș, Romania, representing the Social Democratic Party (PSD). He has recently come under scrutiny for using public funds to finance luxury training retreats, specifically a lavish all-inclusive stay at a seaside resort, ostensibly for professional development related to implementing national recovery projects, despite his municipality having no such projects underway. This practice has sparked controversy amid a climate of austerity, as many local governments struggle financially.
