Moldova’s relations with the EU have advanced significantly over the past years. At the same time, in the European public space there are appearing many controversial discussions, some of them denigrating Republic of Moldova. These insinuations are mainly related to the acquisition of the Romanian citizenship and migration of Moldovans to EU. Even if Romania is not a special case in dealing with citizenship issues, the media attacks towards Romania and Moldova increased in the last months, being mostly observed in the European press. Their aim might be to slow down the rapprochement of Moldova to EU that seems to be a campaign orchestrated by some states, other than the EU states.<\/p>\n

The media wave<\/strong><\/p>\n

In July 2010, the German newspaper “Der Spiegel” published an article1 arguing that Romania is pushing Moldovans in the EU through the back door. Ink was not dry yet and there have been published other articles – two in the British press, one in Italian press, one in French press and some others – that dealt with the same issues: offering Romanian citizenship to Moldovans. Each of these newspapers have made statements that appeared to be exaggerated, at least for a part of Moldovan society and the media “bombardment” has made many officials, Romanian, first, to make statements and to search through laws regulating citizenship acquisition for justifying their actions.<\/p>\n

Comparative approach<\/strong><\/p>\n

In the context of Romania’s accession to the European Union and the granting of benefits resulting from membership, more and more Moldovans have applied for Romanian citizenship. Until this moment, according to Romanian authorities, the number of applications reached 900,000, of which about 120,000 were offered. Basis for claiming citizenship is Art. 10 from the Law on Romanian Citizenship that specifies that Romanian citizens who until December 22, 1989 have lost their citizenship for reasons not attributable to them, and their descendants, have the right to ask for reacquisition of citizenship. If the case of Moldova, it is related to the annexation of Bessarabia by the Soviet Union, which falls under this law.<\/p>\n

Authors’ arguments from the newspapers were that Romania is pushing Moldovans in EU through the back door, that Romania does not comply with EU legislation on the granting of citizenship and that Moldovans will invade Europe and as a result crime will increase in the Member States. Even if some of the arguments could be discussed, it is important to note that Romania is not a special case in the European context. Other states are sinning with similar practices. But let’s take them one by one.<\/p>\n

As the Law on Romanian Citizenship offers the possibility for citizenship reacquisition, the same possibilities are offered by the German constitution in the Art. 116 which stipulates that “former German citizens that in the period of January 30, 1933 to May 8, 1945 who lost their citizenship due to political, ethnic or religious reasons, as well as their descendants can reacquire, on demand, German citizenship”.2 In addition to this, a comparative research published this year by European University Institute shows that at least 9 EU states are having over-inclusive policies for granting citizenships, including Germany, France, Spain, Italy, Ireland, Portugal, Luxemburg and Lithuania.3 This proves that Romania is not a special case and does not require a different approach. Moreover, the figures in the newspapers seem to be impressive, however, by comparison, the data related to Romania is lost somewhere at the end of the list of those who offer the European citizenship. The 2009 Eurostat Yearbook4 provides the data on 2006 (latest EU data available on citizenship reacquisition) that shows that the EU-27 offered almost 700,000 citizenships. Out of the total number, Germany, France and UK offered 426,449, while the remaining 24 states offered 273,500 citizenships, out of which 203,715 were offered by Italy, Spain, Netherland, Austria and Sweden. Thus, despite the fact that in the new EU members since then some trends slightly changed, their indicators are much lower than the indicators from old EU member states.<\/p>\n

As related to the chapter of European legislation that concerns citizenship, it is pointless to dwell too much, because the European institutions are itself saying that «Citizenship» means the particular legal bond between an individual and his or her State, acquired by birth or naturalisation, whether by declaration, choice, marriage or other means according to national legislation.5 Besides this provision, the European Convention on Nationality of 1997, to which Romania is a party, provide the governing principles of this process, which is currently undergoing with no violations. The same convention enshrines the right for those who were denied citizenship to regain it through justice,6 a right to which people will appeal in the case they will be unreasonably refused.<\/p>\n

Several articles – one author?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Several signs illustrates that this series of articles would represent an orchestrated campaign by someone, and there are couple of arguments showing this. The terms that are used in that publications are the same, all of them referring to the back door, all of them attacking Romania in the same way and on the same subjects. The political elite from Moldova already protested, and the ambassador of Moldova to Romania stated7 that those who are willing to keep away Moldova from the EU and to maintain the former conflict relationship between the Chisinau and Bucharest make these declarations. Most probably the ambassador Renita is right. The journalists’ offensive targets slowing down the rapprochement of Moldova and EU, implicitly Moldova and Romania. There is evidence that this message would come from Russia, and as a basis for such assumption is the information that during the visit in Moldova of the author of Der Spiegel, Benjamin Bidder, he acknowledged in a discussion with a director of an NGO from Moldova that in Russia there is a great concern regarding the possibility of unification of Moldova and Romania, and as a consequence he was writing in his article that the head of Moldova is a “unionist” (reffering to M. Ghimpu).<\/p>\n

Another argument is that of the Italian journalist Gianni Boninsegna who states in an article8 of response to that published in “Il Giornale”9 that the author who wrote that article does not even know where Moldova is located and is not acquainted with the reality from this country, saying that according to the data of Ministry of Interior of Italy and National Italian Institute of Statistics regarding the violations of law committed by foreigners living in Italy, the Moldovan migrants are the last in that list. Finally, the British apocalyptic predictions have never happened, their articles are rather showing the disadvantage of their presence in EU and its allergy towards it. At least, the fact that calms Moldovan authorities is that the states from which the articles are originating think different, and moreover, they support at the practical level the European integration demarche of Moldova.<\/p>\n

Moldova – target of a conspiracy?<\/strong><\/p>\n

No, it is not about a conspiracy, it is about some messages which, accidently or not, look like the Russia’s desire to control the behaviour of Moldovan authorities. The evolutions that are taking place in the relationship between Moldova and Russia are showing a clear attack of Kremlin against Chisinau authorities. Even prestigious analytical agencies like Stratfor are indicating that Moldova will be Russia’s next target.10 Events such as the blocking exports of wine and agricultural products to Russia, the Russian MFA declarations related to Transnistria that are at least biased and the Kremlin reactions to recent decisions of Moldovan authorities are indicating a behaviour in an electoral context. It is estimated that the early parliamentary elections will be held in November and the Alliance for European Integration is considered mostly as a coalition hostile to Russia that does not meet the expectations of Kremlin’s leaders due to their pro-European and partially euro-Atlantic visions that do not converge with the Russian plans in the region.<\/p>\n

Conclusions<\/strong><\/p>\n

The slanderous media wave towards Moldova and partially towards Romania should be perceived as ordinary actions of some external political forces that were deployed in an electoral context. The main aim of this campaign is to slow down the Moldova-EU rapprochement, especially in the context of the visa liberalisation dialogue and the coordination of cabinet’s actions with EU institutions.<\/p>\n

In the last long, the Moldovan authorities should avoid confrontations with Russia, especially during elections, and taking into account the fact that these clashes are neither easy nor clear.<\/p>\n

Also, the journalists from these newspapers didn’t study thoroughly the subject of Romanian citizenship that is a expression of their professional attitudes to produce sensations. The promotion of Moldova remains an imperative to be achieved through Embassies in EU but also through campaigns that demonstrate that migrants originating in Moldova do not represent a matter of concern.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
