AUR senators proposed changing the name "Balvanyos" to "Bălvăniș" in legal documents regarding a spa resort in Covasna. They argue that "Bălvăniș" is the Romanian version historically used by locals. The legislative proposal was rejected by the Senate in December 2024 and is currently under review by the Chamber of Deputies, which holds the final decision. The initiative aims to amend laws related to national territory planning and tourism development, without altering the resort's location. Supporters emphasize the difference between the Hungarian-influenced name and the Romanian variant, advocating for official recognition of the latter. The proposal awaits further parliamentary action.
