Ius culturae, Italian citizenship linked to schooling
The citizenship law that will affect one million children of immigrants born and raised in Italy is ready but the discussion in the Affairs Committee has been moved from yesterday (due to the Ukraine crisis) to next week.
The measure, promoted by the pentastellato Giuseppe Bresciais the heir of the ius soli, modifies the law number 91 of 1992 which is based on the ius sanguinis, that is the right to Italian citizenship only if the child of at least one Italian parent, and is called ius scholae or ius culturae. In practice, “a child born in Italy or arrived in Italy before reaching the age of 12, at the moment in which he completes a school cycle of 5 years, upon request, obtains Italian citizenship”: thus reads the proposal on which we will begin to discuss and to vote in the House.
In practice, the recognition of citizenship will take place for those foreign minors linked to a school career in Italy, a choice that, according to Brescia, “focuses on the value of the school, the role of our teachers. It is in the classroom that citizenship is built, belonging to a community. I worked on this simple text which can already be approved in this legislature “.
Is Matteo Salvini that Giorgia Meloni they have already declared themselves against, while Enrico Letta he has already made it known that he is in favor.
