RTL Today has published a long-form interview with Daniel Atz, examining his personal journey and his role in helping Americans reclaim Luxembourgish citizenship.
The article outlines how Atz obtained citizenship through Luxembourg’s 2017 nationality law and later reconnected with previously unknown family members in the country. It frames his work through LuxCitizenship within a broader surge in demand from Americans, particularly during periods of political change in the United States, with motivations shifting from emotional ties to value-driven decisions.
Atz is also presented as a cautious voice, warning against poorly planned relocations and raising concerns about the long-term implications of large-scale citizenship acquisition, integration, and misuse of visa-free travel systems.
The interview ultimately situates his work within a broader debate on identity, migration, and the meaning of Luxembourgish nationality, while connecting these themes to his documentary on Luxembourg descendants in Argentina.
The Sunday Interview program is a once-a-week program on RTL focusing on someone shaping Luxembourgish society.
