Romania faces a labor crisis as the recruitment of Asian workers has been halted due to bureaucratic and technical issues. Construction companies urgently need workers but cannot find them locally or bring them from abroad. The blockage stems from a malfunctioning digital platform and a legal dispute between labor organizations and the Ministry of Labor. Thousands of workers are waiting to come to Romania, with only 60,000 of the approved 90,000 foreign workers having arrived this year.
