Standing in line at the consulate doesn't erase your right to citizenship.

The Italian Supreme Court has confirmed that a consular blockade is legal grounds for legal action.

• Were you unable to schedule an appointment at the consulate?
• Is the process stalled or poorly managed?
• Maternal lineage?
• Incomplete documentation?

See if there is still a solution.

The priest was known in Como for his commitment to the city's most needy.. The priest brought breakfast to the homeless and met some of their needs. The religious man lived a few steps from the place where he was murdered.

The police reported that the priest was killed shortly after starting his round of distributing breakfasts.

According to Italian news agencies, Don Malgesini's killer is a member of the police and there was already a request for expulsion from Italy against him, but which was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic.

At a rally in Bondeno, in the Emilia-Romagna region, former Italian Interior Minister Matteo Salvini commented on the case.

“At 7 am, a parish priest was stabbed to death by one of the illegal migrants who are illegally staying in this country and who should be sent home. Dom Roberto stopped living because there was someone who had no right to be in Italy,” said Salvini.

As he experienced a similar event in 1999. On Ponte Chiasso, the parish priest Renzo Beretta was stabbed to death by a migrant he welcomed.
