Millions of Immigrants Hold Breath as Italy Votes on Faster Citizenship Pathway
Italy's citizens are set to vote on a proposed law that aims to speed up the process of granting citizenship to foreign immigrants who have legally entered the country, potentially affecting millions of people in the outcome.
Millions of immigrants are poised to benefit from Italy's two-day citizenship referendum, which aims to accelerate the acquisition process for foreigners who have legally entered the country. The proposed changes could significantly alter the path to Italian citizenship for those seeking it. Those eligible will be required to demonstrate proficiency in the Italian language and pass a knowledge test on the country's history and institutions. If approved, the new rules are expected to streamline the application process, making it more accessible for long-term residents.
