A documentary aired by German public television ARD highlights issues regarding social legislation and EU free movement norms. It reveals how large families, particularly from Roma communities in Romania and Bulgaria, receive substantial benefits from Germany, prompting calls for urgent legislative changes. The investigation shows that families with multiple children can earn significantly more in Germany than in Romania through various forms of state support. Journalists observed the impact in Romanian localities, noting the issuance of certificates confirming that minors do not receive allowances in Romania, necessary for accessing funds in Germany. German officials are seeking legislative intervention to address this demographic dynamic, with local authorities forming mixed teams to combat potential fraud.
