INTERVIU Știți ce cuvinte rostesc românii din străinătate când sunt întrebați de ce au plecat? Cel mai des spun: „Gard, WC, acoperiș” / „Cei care votează AUR sunt bine intenționați”

Elena Stancu and Cosmin Bumbuț have documented the lives of Romanians abroad for over six years, revealing personal stories behind migration. They highlight issues like domestic violence and corruption as key reasons for leaving Romania. Their research shows that many Romanians, including doctors and caregivers, seek better living conditions and escape from abusive situations. The authors emphasize the importance of understanding these human experiences rather than relying solely on statistics. Their findings illustrate a complex relationship between the diaspora and Romania, marked by changing perceptions and political dynamics.
