Drăgotescu: Statul își bate joc de comunitatea de români din America

Corina Drăgotescu, a television journalist, discusses the challenges faced by the Romanian community in the U.S., particularly regarding citizenship rights. She highlights the lack of support from the Romanian state in addressing outdated laws from the communist era that affect emigrants. The community is divided into three waves of immigration, each with different political affiliations and social behaviors. Drăgotescu emphasizes the desire of many Romanians to reconnect with their roots, but the bureaucratic process is complicated. She calls on the Romanian Parliament to repeal old decrees that unjustly strip citizenship from those who fled communism, arguing that these individuals should be recognized as part of Romania's history.
