The mayor of Cavnic, Petruț Vladimir, threatens revolution if his town of 4,200 residents is dissolved due to administrative reform. He claims that if this happens, he will seek to separate Maramureș County from Romania. The proposed reform targets towns with populations under 10,000, potentially affecting 119 towns. Despite a significant population decline, Cavnic's administration pays over 4 million lei in salaries annually. Petruț, who has switched political parties, has a background in local governance and his wife holds a public position funded by the local budget.
