The mayor of Băile Tușnad, Butyka Zsolt, criticized a proposed administrative reform that could merge the town with a neighboring commune, arguing it would harm the area's tourism and spa identity. He emphasized that Băile Tușnad, aiming for international tourism standards, should not be combined with agricultural communities. Zsolt expressed concerns that such actions could lead to the decline of tourism by 2030. Europarliament member Dragoș Benea mentioned that the reform might involve merging small towns or reclassifying them as communes, as many towns in Romania have populations below legal thresholds for urban areas.
