Migration, the new electoral bet of gold, according to the model of the sovereign parties in the West
Migration, a less present theme in Romania could take shape before the elections of 2028-2030, attract the attention of analysts. This is because the labor deficit in our country is over 600,000, the companies being obliged to hire foreign workers because ours do not want to work with legal forms.

Anti-migrant rhetoric was a key factor in the ascension of extremist parties in countries such as the United Kingdom, Germany and France. In addition, this topic helped Donald Trump get the second presidential term in the US.
If so far, gold has spoken only about refugees from Ukraine, in the context of the border war, now the party seems determined to start a real western offensive. The Vice President of Gold, Dan Tanasa, recently posted a message urging the followers to no longer receive food orders if the deliverors are not Romanian, suggesting that this encourages “the import of unskilled workers from Asia and Africa.”
Anti-migration discourse, based on society's fears
This kind of speech “it is based on social fears. The fear of losing their job, the fear of generating conflicts”Explains the political scientist Andrei Taranu, showing that he was successful in the Western countries, especially in the case of Brexit – the exit of the United Kingdom.
On the other hand, “The sovereign parties, at this moment, also have a speech crisis. That is, they are not necessarily credible and their speech is most often taken from abroad. It is not a speech that is intelligible to Romanian citizens. This does not mean that at some point the merger will not occur, let's say. That is, the Romanian discourse and the speech from abroad can coincide”.
Politicologist George Jiglău points out that “The theme of migration is definitely an extremely important element in other Western societies and in the political discourse, let's say, sovereignist, nationalist taken to the extreme, conservative taken to the extreme. (…) is the ace of the sleeve of our sovereigns. It was expected, about last year's elections I waited to see if this will become a campaign theme ”.
Foreign employees have been in the last days in the center of attention. At Baia Mare, several workers from Romania and Nepal, employees of a furniture factory, have come to fight in the production unit.
There, in fact, it is a clash of two minorities present in Romania. So that “It may be that this type of speech may come very well and to adhere to people who may not necessarily be in the golden speech.”, Politologist George Jiglău also points out.
Gold, no alternative proposals
The situation shows at least that the sovereign parties are currently in a “shadow cone”, explains the political scientist George Jiglău, showing that the anti-migration speech has the potential it re-pays the party.
“Even though this feeling is right, that is right in the opposition, that those in the coalition quarrel with each other, take unpopular measures and during this time grows, the party grows without being visible. Most overwhelming attention is what is happening in government. Gold appears very rarely and rightly so. I make opposition of very poor quality. (…) Our opposition comes with absolutely nothing on the table of discussions about the topics that now annoy the public. Gold does not grow because the public sees better proposals. Because gold comes with absolutely nothing”.
Why do I choose the Romanian companies foreign workers, despite the higher costs
Hiring non-EU citizens in Romania involves multiple additional costs for employers, but this does not prevent companies from: almost 141,000 foreign workers are already working in different key sectors of the economy. “The main reason why Companies choose to hire foreign workers, Despite the fact that this involves costs higher than the employment of Romanians, it is the desire for long -term stability. Foreign workers come to Romania for the clear purpose of working, being in a vulnerable position that causes them to rigorously respect the contractual conditions, which makes them, in practice, more stable and more predictable than part of the domestic workforce, ” said Yosef Gavriel Landisakh – General Manager Work from Asia – for “truth“.

Romania hires foreign workers because ours do not want to work with legal forms
Romanian employers are trying to cover with workers brought from abroad a labor deficit of over 600,000 people, given that at present over 500,000 active people are not in the field of work, said the president of the employer of the labor force (PIFM), Romulus Badea. “I would like to remind you of why we talk about the recruitment of foreign workers. There are some statistics that explain a lot. For example, according to EU statistics, the Romanian diaspora is the largest within the EU. So Romanians are the largest number of European citizens living in the other Member States, outside the borders. The official statistics. Millions of Romanians left inside the borders “Badea said.
