Elena Udrea has done more harm than good. That  is the belief of the Valcea County Council members who say  that the Vidra-Voineasa ski area became a disaster after Udrea  transferred the project into the  administration of the Governement back  when she was tourism minister. The county authorities claim that the former minister has not provided funding to complete the project.

In 2011, when she was Minister of Development and Tourism, Elena Udrea promised to allocate 35 million euros in  government funds  to build the  Voineasa Transalpina Ski Resort. The money did not come, so the project was halted in 2013 for lack of funding. The company that  has won the tender  still has to be recovered from the state 8 million euros. Because the company  has not received the money until now, the constructor  has obtained a court order whereby it stands to  receive all revenues from the slope exploitation until the debt is settled.

The local authorities, the initial beneficiaries of the touristic  complex of Voineasa say that Elena Udrea is to blame, because she took this project  out of the list of projects funded from European funds and transferred it into a government funded project.


"If she had let us proceed further  with the  European funding, today we would not have  been in this  dramatic situation that Mrs. Elena Udrea has left us in. Upon  her departure from the Ministry, the works  at the investment in the  Lotru Mountains was performed at a rate of 92 %. Why did she  not pay then and  let us  with a mess  of a debt on your head? " ION CÎLEA said, President  of CJ Valcea.

There is only the ski facility and the  parking  which is partially completed out of the entire touristic compound that should have been the Transalpina Ski Resort. The  equipment has been left outdoors for almost 2 years old and it  is deteriorating day by day. Moreover, the entire area where they should have built  hotels and other commercial premises has been  deforested.
