PSD vrea să limiteze redobândirea cetățeniei române

A group of 13 social-democratic parliamentarians has proposed a bill to exclude descendants of former Romanian citizens from the citizenship reacquisition process. This change primarily impacts citizens of Moldova seeking Romanian citizenship based on their ancestry. The current law allows both former citizens and their descendants to reclaim citizenship, but the initiators argue that this has led to an influx of applicants with no real ties to Romania. They claim that limiting eligibility would reduce the workload for authorities and address issues of fraudulent applications. Recent investigations into suspicious citizenship requests highlight the need for legal reevaluation to maintain a genuine connection between applicants and Romania.
