As far as I know you can sort of buy EU residence permits and even citizenship in Hungary and Malta. That information is from a few years ago and the Northern EU countries were quite upset. So maybe they stopped it.
At least we know by that that Orban is not racist, he only hates poor people.
I kind of get the feeling that somebody higher up is calling for a crack down on Chinese illegal practices in Germany right now. There is a lot in the past couple days, since Scholz has returned from Bejing and got nothing out of it.
He apparently tried to bring Bejing to be harder on Russia and was willing to use Germanys strength to persuade the EU to go easy on China. Kind of looks like it has failed and Germany is cracking down on China, but relativly silently.
There usually is a big amount of money that if invested in country's long term stock, grant you citizenship. I think for Italy is 500k euros, don't know about Germany
No, this was actually an illegal scheme rather than an official one by the government like the one in Italy. Here, government officials took bribes to grant these rich foreigners fraudulent residency permits.
I read the article, I wrote the previous post because 350k is a lot of money but is not that far from 500k, the amount for an investors visa in Italy and I don't know the amount for that IN Germany
