The granting of Italian citizenship to Argentina's president Javier Milei based on his Italian heritage has sparked outrage, particularly from opposition figures highlighting the inequity faced by migrant families.
Opposition lawmaker Riccardo Magi described the decision to grant citizenship to Milei as an "intolerable discrimination" against young individuals born in Italy to migrant parents, reflecting broader societal frustrations.
Italy’s citizenship laws emphasize blood ties rather than place of birth, a stark contrast that exacerbates the challenges for children of migrants wishing to gain Italian nationality, particularly amid calls for reform.
Milei, who claims a deep connection to his Italian roots, has politically aligned himself with Meloni, reflecting their shared right-wing ideologies, despite the widespread backlash to his citizenship approval.
