The mayor of Alba Iulia, Gabriel Pleșa, announced efforts to address the leaning of the Obelisk of Horea, Cloșca, and Crișan. This issue has been known since 2023, when a digital scan revealed the monument's tilt. Historical documentation confirms the obelisk's foundation, made of oak trunks, may have deteriorated over time. Recent stabilization efforts with gabions have been made, but further measures are needed to prevent further leaning. Pleșa emphasized the importance of finding solutions to preserve the monument, humorously comparing it to the Leaning Tower of Pisa.
