Controversies between PSD and USR regarding clothing style: Simonis criticizes "negligence", Fritz responds with irony about "expensive shoes and education"

The President of CJ Timiș, Alfred Simonis, criticized USR leaders for their dress style, stating that such a label is important in official circles. In a podcast, Simonis compared the politicians' appearance to the state of the city, suggesting that those who wear galoshes reflect an image of negligence.

Dominic Fritz, the leader of USR, responded ironically, emphasizing that PSD politicians boast expensive shoes and costly watches, but have a poor education. Fritz added that Western values are not limited to the value of clothing. Other USR members, such as deputy Alexandru Dimitriu, reacted with posts showing their everyday clothes, highlighting the joy of living simply and without worries. This dispute highlights the tensions between the two parties against the backdrop of perceptions about politicians and their lifestyle.
