On 2 February, after the National Council for Combating Discrimination ordered to be notified in case of relocation of the two Sri Lankans to another stage of the production, the company directors announced that the workers will retain their initial workplace. Furthermore, they also announced that some of the other workers of the bakery were being threatened for collaborating with the foreigners. In a press release, the employers described several of the threats the locals were sending to the immigrants, including the slogan published in the Facebook group Să dăm foc ca în annul ’90 ("Let's set fire like in the 90s", referring to the ethnic clashes of Târgu Mureș), stating that they intended to set the bakery on fire. Also, one of the bakery's businessperson announced that due to the incident of the past days, another bakery that was planned to be built in Ditrău with funds of the European Union will be built elsewhere.
