Yes it was true: https://www.euronews.com/2020/10/20/buying-eu-citizenship-wh...

In particular Malta and Cyprus, evidently had low barriers. But according to the article, 19 EU countries provide some kind of residency scheme.

Another site provides some interesting details: https://imperiallegal.com/european-passport/

€2M spare cash is not a low barrier. It's not the "easiest method" either. They're fun articles, but realistically very few people can afford this - and if they can, they know.

Yes but OP did not say "low barrier". Had they said that, then you would be correct.

Arguably having €2M also is not easy. Ignoring the criteria is not very productive for OPs question.

It's easy to get a UK passport if you've already been living here for 6 years on an eligible visa.

You said it's low barrier. That's the point I'm disagreeing with.
