Over 2000 people protested in Miercurea-Ciuc against the increase of local taxes and the removal of tax benefits, accusing politicians of not representing their interests.

On Saturday, Miercurea-Ciuc was the scene of a massive protest, attended by over 2000 people, dissatisfied with the increase in local taxes and fees, as well as the removal of tax benefits. The protesters, despite the cold weather, chanted against the UDMR and Mayor Korodi Attila, accusing politicians of betraying the interests of the citizens. Some protesters, including elderly individuals, highlighted the financial difficulties they are facing, stating that the city is no longer livable.

Representatives of associations for people with disabilities criticized the Government for the removal of tax benefits, emphasizing that this social category already lives below the subsistence level.
