Milan, March 29 (LaPresse) – "I haven’t read the statements" of the League deputies regarding citizenship "which I would consider somewhat senseless, because no one gives anything to anyone. Today, citizenship is granted after ten years of residence in Italy: this is the current rule. What we are saying looking ahead, but it is not part of the decree approved yesterday in the Council of Ministers, and what we believe should be discussed in the future with our allies, is that when a young person has completed ten years of mandatory schooling, they should have the right." This is what the group leader in the Chamber of Deputies for Forza Italia, Paolo Barelli, told LaPresse. "As for yesterday’s approval, I understand it was passed unanimously in the Council of Ministers. I understand that all present agreed on the need for intervention, because there is also a very dangerous trade in citizenships, and citizenship should be given to those who truly deserve it, even for Italians, which is fine. Then there will also be time to discuss this in Parliament." Regarding the League's talk of "necessary corrections in the Chamber"? "This applies to everything and everyone; it’s welcome if they are necessary, if they are useful to improve the issue. But I think that" the reform "needs to be read and studied properly first. And then, of course, during parliamentary proceedings, improvements will be made when possible," Barelli concluded.
