“Although Premier Maniu and the Minister of Justice have repeatedly promised to change the citizenship regulations so as to enable thousands in the new provinces to acquire citizenship rights which would not leave them exposed to the vicissitudes of administration, now at the end of the second parliamentary session there is not even the slightest hope of the matter receiving satisfactory attention,” declared Deputy Michael Landau in an interpellation asking the Speaker of Parliament to fix a date when an opportunity will be given to debate his interpellation.
