ROME (ITALPRESS) – The debate on citizenship and Ius Soli is rekindled, and a controversy between the League and Forza Italia is opening up in the majority. “The citizenship law is perfectly fine as it is, and the numbers of concessions (Italy first in Europe with over 230,000 citizenships issued, ahead of Spain and Germany) prove it. There is no need for Ius Soli or shortcuts,” the Carroccio wrote in a Facebook post, accompanied by a graphic with a photomontage of Antonio Tajani and Elly Schlein and the headline “Pd relaunches Ius Soli. Fi opens a gap to the right.””We were a bit hurt by this post. We on citizenship have our own approach, this topic is not in the government program, everyone has their own ideas and they should all be respected. For style we never attack allies, we are well aware that our opponent is the left,” is the comment of Raffaele Nevi, deputy and spokesman for Forza Italia, contacted by phone by Italpress.The post “I think it is counterproductive for those who make it and for the whole coalition,” emphasizes Nevi, who on citizenship reiterates, “We are consistent with a position that Silvio Berlusconi expressed a long time ago and that we still consider valid: we would be in favor of an Ius Scholae that provides for the right to citizenship after a schooling of at least ten years.””The issue is not the subject of the government agreement, we are respectful of everyone’s positions and we demand the same respect,” continued the Forza Italia spokesman, who added, “We are not opening any gap to the right. On the contrary, we have opened a gateway to many moderates who are looking at Forza Italia with great interest, because the center left is moving more and more to the left. We also make an important contribution to the growth of the center-right coalition.”
