A conflict at a Hunedoara town hall led to a secretary being hospitalized after allegedly being kicked by the mayor. The mayor claims he only intended to scare her, describing the incident as a misunderstanding. Witnesses reported that the discussion escalated quickly, resulting in the secretary calling for medical assistance. The mayor, Ovidiu Ciolea, insists he is a victim of political games and that the incident was exaggerated. Local officials express concern over the situation, noting it is not the first time such conflicts have arisen in the office. Ciolea, a teacher by profession, has been in office for two years and is now under investigation for abusive behavior.
