Professor Dumitru Marin, aged 85, has filed a lawsuit against Vaslui's mayor, Lucian Braniște, seeking to annul the award of "Honorary Citizen" to five individuals and to receive the title himself. He argues that his contributions to the cultural life of Vaslui justify this recognition. The court suspended the case due to procedural issues, as the request was made on behalf of a company rather than as an individual. After the court session, Marin criticized the local council's legal representation, claiming it was biased. A local councilor stated that Marin's application was rejected for lacking necessary documents but will be reconsidered once he submits them.
