Mayor Astrid Fodor explained that the notes sent to the Securitate came from mandatory interviews, emphasizing that she did not provide information on her own initiative.

Astrid Fodor said that the information in the CNAS archive about the notes sent to the Securitate was the result of mandatory interviews with security officers, not acts of collaboration. She was in charge of fabric exports and participated in brief discussions in which the officer checked whether sensitive topics related to the communist regime were discussed. Fodor emphasized that he was never a collaborator with the Securitate.
