Vechile structuri opresc un primar reformator

Dominic Fritz, the mayor of Timișoara, faces losing his position due to his reformist agenda, which has threatened established political interests. His efforts to combat corruption and nepotism have drawn hostility from the long-dominant Social Democratic Party (PSD). Fritz's legal troubles began with accusations of conflict of interest, linked to a planning document he signed. Despite a controversial court ruling against him, which could bar him from public office, a new law dubbed 'Lex Fritz' was introduced to expedite his removal. This situation has attracted the attention of the European Commission, and Fritz plans to challenge the law in court. He remains committed to his reform agenda and intends to continue his political involvement.
