  • It’s actually 180 days. In this particular case it wasn’t about the limit. Romanian law has another provision: if you are not considered a “threat to society”, you can be investigated without being jailed. Normally, that means you walk free until your trial, with some restrictions on leaving the city or country, depending on your charge. However, if you are considered a flight risk while also not being deemed a “threat to society”, you will usually await trial under house arrest. No need to be rich or famous, just have a half-decent lawyer or a lenient prosecutor who doesn’t even ask for jail time to begin with.

    Unpopular opinion: most migrants come to Europe from safe countries. We should absolutely 100% allow people who flee from war zones to take refuge in Europe. But most migrants who currently cross the border illegally are coming from places like Turkey or Morocco. Is there a war tearing these countries apart that I do not know about? I agree, asylum is a human right, but it’s just that: a right. It’s not an obligation. People abuse that right and then complain they’re not handed stuff on a silver plate.

    If Europe went to war right now, like in the good old days, I’d flee to safety as well. No doubt about that. But I’d be happy to take refuge in the nearest safe country, not try to get into Canada illegally, just because I heard it’s a nice place to live.
