Alfred Simonis responded to criticism regarding the lavishness of his son's baptism, suggesting critics were lurking to comment on the event. He described the weekend as challenging for both attendees and observers. The baptism featured notable PSD figures, including party president Sorin Grindeanu, and entertainment by Al Bano. Grindeanu acknowledged the backlash, recognizing that images from the event might seem inappropriate given the current economic struggles in Romania. He emphasized the need for public figures to be mindful of their messaging, especially during private events, and expressed regret for any negative perceptions created.
