ANI bill enactment forces Fritz's departure as Timisoara mayor; interim leadership shifts to deputy mayors

Timisoara's mayor, Dominic Fritz, announced his term will end in 30 days due to the ANI law signed by President Nicusor Dan. He criticized the law as a political attack and a violation of constitutional rights, claiming it undermines democracy in Romania. Fritz accused the PSD party of attempting to erode public trust in USR and its progressive agenda. He emphasized his commitment to continue fighting against corruption and pledged to lead alongside his deputy mayors after his term ends.
