Citizenship for immigrants: for 56% of Italians, emergencies are different
Becoming an Italian citizen is a real obstacle course. Bureaucratic delays, confusing rules and strict restrictions make life difficult for thousands of people. One theme, that of reform of the Italian citizenship, which divides not only politicians, but also Italians.
According to the most recent Ipsos survey, published by Corriere della Sera this week, while 48% are in favor of ius soli, 47% say they are against it. THE jus culturae convinces more: 53% agree.
But 56% also think that there are “other priorities”, supporting Deputy Prime Minister Di Maio.
But 56% prefer the current citizenship law ius saguinis.
The theme of recognition of Italian citizenship for foreigners and descendants, it returned to the news after Nicola Zingaretti's intervention, at the assembly of his party – the PD –, last week in Bologna.
The left-wing leader, although he understands that there are more urgent issues, believes that it is correct to approve a law to adjust the rights of Italian citizenship, for foreigners or for descendants of Italians.
understand the differences
The "the right of blood" or "jus sanguinis"is the right of blood by which the person, whose ancestors were born in Italy, is considered Italian from the moment of his birth.
In the “jus soli”, original nationality is obtained by virtue of the territory where the individual was born. Therefore, the nationality of the parents does not matter.
Already the "jus culturae" allows foreigners to become citizens by demonstrating knowledge of local culture.
