Virgil Ianțu l-a ironizat pe Dan Negru, în fața publicului: „Alții refuză ce nu li s-a propus”
Virgil Ianțu received the honorary citizen title of Timișoara but sparked controversy with a comment interpreted as a jab at Dan Negru. Ianțu's speech, initially elegant, took a turn when he mentioned the ability to refuse honors, hinting at Negru's earlier statement about declining the title. This remark caused a stir in the audience and led to discussions about Negru's views on such distinctions, which he believes are often politically motivated.
