“The proposal from Forza Italia on the Ius Scholae has several interesting points, and it is open for discussion.” This was stated by Lucio Malan, leader of the Brothers of Italy in the Senate, during an interview with La Repubblica.
“I haven’t had the chance to review the entire proposal, but there are some intriguing aspects that we will examine. It is by no means a drastic reform; these are adjustments to the current laws, not only related to the school system. I also find it fair to set a limit on the right to Italian citizenship for descendants of Italians: the connection must be genuine,” explained Malan. When asked if there is a predetermined refusal to discuss the proposal, he responded, “Absolutely not.”
Regarding differentiated autonomy, Malan emphasized that the criticisms surrounding the reform are based on fearmongering. “They claim that Italy’s unity is at risk, that there will be regions doing better and others doing worse, as if this isn’t already a reality. I’d like to understand why, for example, if Lombardy takes on a few more functions, it would harm Sicily. In any case, it’s not as though any region can suddenly demand to manage, say, Defense. The law and the Constitution provide for Parliamentary oversight.”
