Riccardo Magi, a lawmaker from the opposition party +Europa, condemned the decision, calling it intolerable discrimination against young Italians who will face years of bureaucracy to obtain citizenship.
Millions of Italians born in Italy, raised here, who studied, worked, and pay taxes in this country unlike President Milei will face an arduous journey to gain citizenship, Magi said in a video posted on social media.
While groups like Oxfam Italia have pushed for a reduction in the waiting period to align with other EU countries, like France and Germany, far-right Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni's government has firmly opposed such changes.
Milei is not the first Argentinian president to hold dual Italian citizenship. Mauricio Macri, who served as Argentina's president from 2015 to 2019, also had an Italian passport.
