The bishops say yes to the Ius Scholae
There Italian Episcopal Conference intervenes on the theme of the ius scholae and asks to overcome divisions and ideological positions. Politics must realize that our country is changing and “the reform of the ‘ius scholae is meeting this reality, with 5 and a half million migrants”, says Monsignor Gian Carlo Perego, president of the Episcopal Commission for Migration of the CEI and president of the Migrantes Foundation.
For Perego, politics must take a step forward, beyond “ideological debates, for the good not only of those waiting for this law, but also of Italy itself, one of the oldest countries”. “Citizenship – he continues – is an instrument of inclusion, integration, active participation in the life of the city and of social security. An instrument that for ethical and justice reasons safeguards the dignity of people. It is a democratic instrument”, underlines Monsignor Perego .
Ius Scholae, the positions of the parties
In recent days the Lega, which disputes the sentences of Perego, had taken sides against the measure, under discussion in the Chamber. “It is objectively difficult, almost impossible, to think that the go-ahead for the ius scholae promoted by the Democratic Partyas Monsignor Gian Carlo Perego affirmed, can ever lead to ‘more social security’ “, states the Northern League Undersecretary for Education, Rossano Sasso. immigration officer and head of the Migrantes foundation, it is important to remember that Italy is already an example of democracy, civilization and hospitality in this respect, being the EU country that grants more citizenships “, he continues.
“Unfortunately, what is proposed by the left is not, as Perego argues, greater participation, but citizenship without examinations or checks, in fact also for the dangerous baby gangs that have unfortunately occupied the news at the local and national level for some time. Not only that: no foreign adult linked to minors with new citizenship would be more expelled – goes on -. Fortunately for young foreigners who attend Italian schools, as regards participation, all the rights of any other student are already guaranteed today. “” Today the priorities of the real country – concludes Sasso -, with the crisis of businesses, work and there are other families in difficulty “.
Foreign Minister Luigi Di Maio, on the other hand, hopes “that a compromise will be found in Parliament”. “The parliamentary debate must be respected, what baffles me is that it is used as a flag to pick off the government. I am one of the youngest politicians, I do not have to lecture others but we are in a situation in which the parties at the opposition are more responsible than the parties in the majority “, says the founder of ‘Together for the future’.
FI’s position is more articulated. Ius scholae and cannabis “at this moment are not a priority for Italy”, said the national coordinator Antonio Tajani. On the decriminalization of home cultivation of cannabis “we are absolutely against”, on citizenship “we are in favor of the principle but there must be a real training – he specifies – so that a young foreigner can have a path of Italianization”.
“We must not address these issues in Parliament as the left wants to impose them – adds Tajani -. Five years without certification is not enough. We made some proposals that were rejected by the left “which included” five years plus three: elementary and middle school and a final exam like all young Italians do. Otherwise it becomes a joke. “In FI the sensibilities are different, for example, the blue deputy Renata Polverini, who had already voted in favor of the Zan bill, has made it known that she will vote for the pdl on the ius scholae.
“It’s my fight,” he said. On the contrary, the party of Giorgia Meloni. “War, drought, economic crisis, skyrocketing inflation and the Draghi majority commits Parliament to discuss the legalization of drugs and easy citizenship for immigrants – protests the group leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Chamber, Francesco Lollobrigida -. FdI claims to address the urgent problems of businesses and families. Without wasting any more time “.
