Hollywood celeb George Clooney and his loved ones were recently seen getting French citizenship, but the manner in which it arose has sparked criticism across the board.
As per a recent report, French Government officials fast-tracked the whole process for Clooney, his wife Amal, and the couple's twin children.

Critics continued to argue about how most people must undergo a long and strict naturalization process, which includes residency requirements, language proficiency tests, and civic knowledge exams. On the other hand, Clooney's application moved swiftly through a special program for foreigners deemed to enhance France's international influence.
