Petition against citizenship decree reaches 29 thousand signatures in one day

Descendants of Italians in several countries are signing a petition against the Tajani Decree-LawThe initiative, which proposes changes to the recognition of Italian citizenship by descent, garnered 29 signatures in one day—and continues to gain momentum.

The document is addressed to the Italian government, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Fratelli d'Italia party. The signatories claim that the decree threatens the right to citizenship by blood, a principle known as jus sanguinis.

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.

According to the organizers, the measure breaks with a historical tradition. Over the course of more than a century, millions of Italians have migrated and formed a large diaspora. Today, their descendants maintain ties with their country of origin and spread their culture throughout the world.

The petition presents three main criticisms of the decree:

• Disregards the role of the diaspora in Italy's history;
• Restricts the jus sanguinis;
• It weakens descendants as cultural representatives abroad.

claims

The movement proposes:

• Immediate withdrawal of the decree;
• Recognition of overseas communities as part of the nation;
• Improvement in consular services, with greater agility in citizenship processes.

The movement invites Italians and supporters to sign the petition. “Depriving descendants of citizenship means denying their role in the prestige of Italy,” the text states.
