Romanian Holocaust Institute condemns ex-minister's anti-Fritz remarks

Former PSD minister Mihai Fifor alleged on social media that Dominic Fritz, mayor of Timișoara, is not Romanian and 'betrayed the country that welcomed him.' The Elie Wiesel National Institute for the Study of the Holocaust in Romania publicly condemned the remarks, framing them as xenophobic and dangerous. The incident signals rising anti-immigrant rhetoric in Romanian politics ahead of elections, though it remains a domestic political controversy with no direct market impact.
