The Jewish Party was touched by the antisemitic laws first reintroduced by the National Christian Party (PNC) government in 1937. Weissman, by then the PER's vice president, was suspended from the bar association, following a review of his Romanian citizenship, with some 30% of the Romanian Jews being eventually stripped of their citizenship rights. The PER was again drawn into cooperation with the UER, issuing common protests against the measure, and reestablishing the CCER. It intensified support for clandestine emigration into Palestine, and organized the "Totzeret Haaretz" campaign (preferential imports from Palestine, and a boycott of Romanian merchandise). The latter policy, thought of by Filderman, effectively toppled the PNC cabinet in February 1938, but could not overturn antisemitic laws.
