Alfred Simonis, the president of Timiș County Council, addresses controversies surrounding the luxury attire of guests at his son's baptism. He defends the event as a family gathering and rejects claims that hosts should be accountable for guests' clothing. Simonis criticizes the negative portrayal of the event and denies false information about expenses. The baptism, attended by around 400 guests, featured lavish decorations and expensive outfits, particularly drawing attention to a fur coat worn by Sorina Docuz, partner of former Prime Minister Marcel Ciolacu, valued between €12,000 and €17,000. The controversy also involved questions about the coat's origin, linked to a newly created Instagram account.
