Prime Minister Luca-Alexandru Niculescu will review a legislative initiative that seeks to exclude descendants of former Romanian citizens from eligibility for regaining Romanian citizenship. This proposal, submitted by 14 Social Democratic parliamentarians, could impact Moldovan citizens applying for citizenship based on family heritage. Niculescu emphasized the importance of discussions with Chișinău officials before making a decision. The initiative aims to amend the Romanian citizenship law, limiting the redobândire process to individuals who previously held citizenship, excluding certain descendants. This change directly affects those whose ancestors were Romanian citizens before the annexation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union.
