"I would like to work here more." Yup, working in Poland or anywhere in the EU would be easier with a Polish passport. Does anyone remember an article about how one actress for a movie was chosen over another due to her citizenship? Something about how filming in one location and casting a local came with hefty tax breaks. I feel like it was a Spaniard vs Latin American actress?

I'd apply for different citizenship if I could.

I think I'm also technically a German citizen (my mother was German), but I've only ever had a US passport. I'm not quite sure where to even start to get a German passport.

ontd Germany, correct me if I'm wrong: German laws didn't/still doesn't allow dual citizenship from naturalization, regardless of the rules of the other country, no? They are changing this though, I hear...

Unless you are a child of a German national and a non German national where you would inherit both (or whatever the rules are for both countries) or your other nationality is another EU country.

I haven't done the research in a while, but I'm old enough that I think I qualify. I remember something about people being born after a certain year where it wasn't automatic, but I didn't look into it.

If you want to become a naturalized German you are now allowed to keep your original citizenship. Before dual citizenship was not allowed.

do you have a second citizenship ontd?

Not me, but my husband was born and raised in the Philippines and I believe is still a citizen. Which surprises everyone because he has a very much American accent.

I'll never even visit Poland due to their near-total abortion ban.

From the article:

Polish lawmakers voted Friday to move forward with several bills aimed at reforming the Catholic country's abortion laws, including two that would lift the near-total ban on abortion that currently exists in the EU country.

Members of the lower house of parliament, the Sejm, voted to work on four separate bills. Two of them propose legalizing abortion through the 12th week of pregnancy, in line with European norms. A third would de-penalize the procedure.

The fourth bill, proposed by the Christian Democratic Third Way party, would reinstate the right to abortion in cases of fetal abnormalities, reverting to what the situation was before a 2020 constitutional court ruling banned such procedures.

But they figure the current president would veto any changes.
