Emil Boc, the mayor of Cluj, emphasized that the integration of families relocated from the Pata Rât area is progressing well, with over 100 families already housed in rented accommodations, and no issues reported regarding unpaid bills.

The city is committed to social housing projects and support programs, including financial assistance for rent, aimed at vulnerable populations, particularly those from the Pata Rât area.

Boc rejected claims of integration challenges, asserting that the process is ongoing and supported by various funding sources, and highlighted the importance of work and education for successful integration.
