276 million lei for the six mergers in Ungheni district. The municipal group takes 157.5

On 4 August the Government said how much it gives per head for mayoralty mergers: 3,000 lei. That figure is only the first term of the real formula. Applied to Ungheni district, with the National Bureau of Statistics table by locality, the three incentives yield 276.7 million lei for the six amalgamation groups — 157.5 million for the group around the municipality alone. It also explains the figure of 278 million announced on 31 July by the head of the Ungheni Territorial Office. The press release does not mention that second term, and the largest part of the money is conditional on a law that has not yet been published.
