Dincolo de cazul Asaf Avidan. Ce fac miile de urmași ai evreilor care cer redobândirea cetățeniei române, dar nu au o scenă de pe care să-și susțină cauza. Care este miza

The case of Israeli artist Asaf Avidan highlights a broader issue regarding the thousands of Israelis seeking Romanian citizenship. Many are descendants of Jews who left Romania during the communist era, and the Romanian government is struggling to manage the influx of applications. While some seek citizenship for sentimental reasons, younger applicants desire EU passports for work and study opportunities. Recent changes in Romanian law have made the process more stringent, particularly for those with historical ties to Romania, leading to frustrations over bureaucracy and lengthy wait times. Critics argue that the new regulations favor celebrities and investors over descendants of Holocaust survivors, raising concerns about fairness in the citizenship process.
