In this week's Inside Italy, we examine how PM Giorgia Meloni's government is potentially sabotaging a referendum aimed at easing citizenship restrictions for 2.5 million individuals. With only three weeks left until the vote, there's growing concern that the measure, which would reduce the residency requirement from 10 to 5 years, won't achieve the necessary 50% turnout. Historical context reveals that Italy has seen low turnout rates in referendums, compounded by the ruling coalition's call for supporters to abstain, raising doubts about the reform's fate and its implications for a significant number of residents.
PM Giorgia Meloni's government appears to be undermining a crucial referendum that could allow 2.5 million people to gain Italian citizenship.
With over three weeks until the referendum, discussions heat up in media, yet the likelihood of reaching the required voter turnout remains bleak.
