ROME – “I signed the referendum online to change the citizenship law. It took me less than a minute. You can do it too at the link in the stories!” Elly Schlein wrote on social networks.
“The associations of new Italians and Italians – he adds – are asking us for support for this referendum that wants to bring the requirement for obtaining citizenship from 10 to 5 years of legal residence in Italy. In line with many European countries. For the Democratic Party, anyone born or raised in Italy has the right to citizenship”.
“We will fight for this – he concludes – with our proposal in Parliament that recognizes citizenship to those born to a parent who has resided in Italy for at least a year, and to those who complete a course of studies in Italy. In the meantime, we will also sign the referendum of the associations, who have been waiting for a reform for too long”.
