While Alina Apostol struggles in a Chinese prison, Ana Birchall criticizes the Romanian authorities for their lack of support for citizens abroad. She argues that the state has obligations to all its citizens, regardless of their situation. Birchall references the case of Radu Mazăre, highlighting the state's responsibility to assist its citizens. She emphasizes that the situation should be viewed as a humanitarian issue and calls for the Ministry of Justice to negotiate for Apostol's repatriation. Despite no longer being in office, Birchall pledges to continue advocating for Apostol's return.
